Default PVC pipe

I am having trouble finding what I need and I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction. This is what I am looking for:

about 1 foot of PVC pipe 3" diameter with walls 1/8" thick

all I can find in 3" diameter is schedule 40 pipe which has walls that are 1/4" thick. I also came across some schedule 35, but that is only slightly thinner than 1/4".

I am from Wisconsin, and I don't know if you can get the thinner walled stuff in other parts of the country. In WI all they sell and carry is schedule 40 because that is what the plumbing codes call for. I have been told that thinner stuff is available in Arizona, but I am not sure....I think it might be used for sprinkler systems or irrigation systems or something.

Can anyone help out, or lend some insight?
