Shops setup for air!!!!!

[Anthony1]

Bump,
Has anyone here had experience with PVC pipe failing and exploding? Digging around the internet you can find plenty of folks that say not to use it for compressed air, but examples of it failing seem to be joints not secured properly or the pipe being struck by something. There's 1/2" pvc sold at Lowes that's rated at 600psi.

This is what is in my shop and it works great. :awesomework:

I guess if you use low pressures and low volumes you will be fine. I personally wouldn't do it. go here and check things out
