I prefer working with schedule 40, pressure quality and not DWV (drain/waste/vent). Lowes stocks straight, square end 10' pipe sections. Menards also. Menards can also order up to 20', including belled end...not sure about Lowes. They both have the basic 90, 45, coupling, and caps. Their prices for these PVC product basics are tuff to beat. I haven't researched HD. Regarding other fittings, check out this place in Evansville, IN. They will UPS and the fittings prices are not too outrageous: E-pipe connection E-pipe has got the best selection for ALL types of PVC that I have ever seen. Order their catalog...it's a little easier to peruse. WRT the very unusual "siphon-specific" fittings, you may have to pay the piper at one of the specialty manufacturers listed above.

Saw him this morning, a cow hit a gate and the gate hit him. Didn't do him any good. How did it go with the nrcs survey? Make it look easy, http://zhkent.com
