And of course everyone is gonna jump in with "do not use PVC, it can 
explode and shatter".  But you know what -- I've seen it used in 
multiple industrial air systems, including a local NASCAR shop (Andy 
Petree - I now own his workbench and sandblaster) and never heard of 
failures.

I suspect it's kinda like "do not power up your cell phone on the plane, 
or it will immediately nose dive into the ground"
