odd sizes
Instead of looking for a 4 11/16" box, try a 4 3/4" one. You might have better luck.
If you can find a 4 and 3/4 one, all power to you. Don't ask me why the convention is that the next size box after 4" is 4 and 11/16 and not 4 and 3/4 or better yet 5". Here is a good link. My local supply house gouged me for the 1 and 1/2" deep. Which is an unusual item because usually if you want the additional cubic inches of the bigger box, you want it deep as well for the same reason. However I had a depth limited application. My supply house got $12 bucks a box and found 'em here today for $5. When I searched last week I found prices somewhat equivalent to the $1. Took a couple more searches today and obviously I got different results than I got last week. It isn't that you can't find stuff, it is the sense that you have accurately found the bulk of listings that drives me nuts about how you search for fractional products.
Actually it is usually the other way around. I have never seen pressure fittings in other than 45 and 90 degrees, although they might be made. 1/32 bends were more common with cast iron systems because they were less tolerant of "cocking". PVC and ABS pipe and fittings have a certain degree of "slop" in the joints so they do not have to be in perfect alignment to seal and not leak, thus making a 1/32 bend redundant in most cases. For this reason, although companies do make them, almost no one would stock them, because they MIGHT sell ONE every ten years or so.
I think folks make due with the 11 and 1/4 bends but if they were more readily available they would sell more. I don't of course mean on par with the more traditional fittings. Already pay a big premium for st. 22s which are often the most handy but , for some bizarre reason the big box sellers won't go there. They stock 22s but not st. 22s.
As for 1/32 bends, interesting what you say about pressure fittings. may be true in smaller sizes, but when you get into the bigger sizes the joining tolerances seem tighter to me than DWV so you can't get away with flexing the coupling on a glue joint so you would need more fine sizes so I always thought it sensible that they were available in pressure. That said, I spoke with Spears yesterday,( don't ask me why I can't get any of the local distributors to get the information for me, the idea that local suppliers have knowledge and industry connections that provide you value justifying the usually higher cost you pay to businesses with bricks and mortar on main st. is really strained when it comes to finding this unusual stuff. I have to go look for it myself.) They can fabricate 1/32 DWV bends (heat fabricated, they heat the pipe bell the ends and bend it to 11 and 1/4 deg (part #3711-040) . They can do any bend up to about 30 degs. with 2 or 3 day lead time. Because they are made custom like this they can make street fittings as well (part #3711-040-13). I found that out in 15 minutes on the phone and it has taken my supplier a day and a half and they still haven't gotten me a price.
These guys are probably busy because they supply heavier infrastructure piping, they do not supply standard smaller piping for residential light commercial. 4" is the smallest they have. So they are no doubt busy soaking up the stimulus dollars indirectly but cautious about hiring given the sporadic nature so they are overstretched, but I get the same brush off from folks who are slow. that's what i get for being retentive.

PS . they can also make pipe extensions with the same fabrication techniques although they don't have a name or part number for these. forgot to ask whether they can squeeze the pipe to make flush extensions although those are manufactured by someone, I just can't think of what they are called or how to find them. Any help?
