Default Ports - Where to buy?

I am after a 3" diameter port at least 8 inches long, anyone know where I can buy one, preferably in the uk although I will import one if I have to.

Thanks guys

I buy all my vent materials from DIY shops. Use drainpipe, guttering, soilpipe...

I usually just get regular white PVC pipe for ports, I'm sure Parts Express has some that may be close to that size, perhaps even with a flange built in. I normally countersink the port into MDF, then use a router with an edging bit to make it 'flared' somewhat.

I usually use the Precision Ports from Parts Express. They are pricey, but when you consider how easy they are to work with and how nice they look its usually worth it (IMO) unless you are doing a budget project.
