Garry,

Seems to me the you could use a can of hi-temp engine paint (header paint),
or a light colored, outdoor rated house paint (UV resistant), to coat the
inside of your PVC to block those unwanted rays from degrading the plastic.
I paint the exposed PVC sprinkler pipes at my house to protect the them from
sun degradation.  Just a thought.
