You can usually get grey PVC (conduit) from the electrical department of your hardware store. I have used this with my sprinkler system with no problems (seems like regular PVC and uses the same glue and fittings).

Go to an irrigation or sprinkler supply warehouse, they will have it.

I believe the difference between scheduled 40 and 80 has to do with the thickness of the pipe wall and the amount of pressure the pipe is rated for (schedule 40 is heavier...I think).

It's actually the opposite; schedule 80 is the heavier grade product.

all different types of the grey plumbing?

There is only one common gray plumbing, Schedule 80 or heavy wall. The other light gray is electrical conduit not water pipe.
