Of course he didn't look. He was hoping you wouldn't, either. Now he's
probably going to claim these don't count because the ambient temperature was
beyond parameters, or it was the wrong phase of the moon, or whatever.

You can rub this one all day but you can't put a polish on a turd. PVC line for
compressed gases is a dangerous game. Just because he's gotten away with it for
a lengthy period of time doesn't mean it's not ready to fail later today... or
tomorrow... with disasterous results.
