Default AIR LINES

I checked out the pipe at Home Depot and the PSI ratings on this pipe
and it is almost double than what they are running on it. It looked
like the outside diameter was about 3 inch. This place is on the
corner of 700 and Shed road. That may be in Burton, Ohio.

Pressure ratings for PVC are given for liquids not air. Couple that with
the damage from UV on those pipes and it's tendency to go brittle with time,
and well, let's just say I wouldn't use PVC for air lines.
