*PVC may be purchased in 10-foot bulk
lengths, or can be cut to size at the store when purchased. If you
cut the pipe yourself, a pair of PVC cutters is recommended. The
cost of cutters plus the bulk PVC is roughly the same as the price
of having your PVC cut to size by the store, but you will have some
extra PVC left.
