[Woodcarver] High Pressure Air (HPA)

[Dave_Kratzer at sil.org]

I plumbed my shop air with 1/2 inch sched 40 PVC over 5 years ago. It has 
reliably held 100 PSI without complaint or leaking. I believe it is rated 
for over 200 PSI. No shop air system should be run over 100 PSI. Most air 
tools are designed for 80-90 PSI.  I have a regulator on my compressor 
before I connect to the PVC with a piece or flexible hose to keep 
vibration from being transmitted to the PVC. Works good for me. I'm not 
sure what OSHA thinks.

I have always piped the HPA for my air tools with soldered
copper.  I have another line that I want to run & am thinking
of using Schedule 40 PVC.
Does anyone have any experience in piping HPA with PVC
& does the cement hold at the connections?
