   If they don't have it maybe they know of similar products.

   You can wrap a sheet material around it.  In industrial applications insulation is often wrapped with plastic or aluminum sheet, made especially for this.  One supplier is http://www.mcmaster.com , an industrial supply company.  A local plumbing supply house should be able to get it two.  It's often called "jacketing", and usually comes in a 3' wide or so roll.  You can wrap elbows and joints with aluminum duct tape (real aluminum, not aluminum colored cloth) or purchase pre-formed fitting covers to match the jacket.

   I don't know if this will work in this application but I often use common latex paint to protect plastics, electrical conduits and PVC junction boxes, from UV damage. The electrical plastics are UV resistant but a few years in the Florida sun still takes a toll. I have found that any good exterior house paint, sometimes selected for nice subdued color to blend with plantings, makes a world of difference.

   I also suspect that house paint might be both more readily available and less expensive than a more specialized coating.
