Here we go again: PVC PIPE FOR AIR SUPPLY LINES

Due to having no money and abundance of devil-may-care, I am thinking
of using P.V.C. pipe to put in my shop for air supply. I am thinking
of using 1/2 inch due the the highest pressure rating compared to
larger sizes.
Now, my thought is to buy some wire cloth - the stuff that has open
squares of ~ .5 inch and cut it where, when formed into a tube, it
would cover the p.v.c. pipe comfortably.
Should the pipe explode due to the air pressure, the wire-cloth should
stop large pieces from becoming killer pieces.
I expect the nay sayers to say: DON'T DO IT, YOU WILL BE KILLED. To
them I say: I don't expect to eliminate ALL CHANCES OF DEATH OR INJURY
BUT I DO EXPECT THE SHIELDING TO CALM MY FEARS RATHER THAN USING BARE
PIPE.
What say?
Thanks
Joe
I like the idea several have posted using PEX. There is also a PVC
designed and rated for air

And anybody who has never worked with PEX is in for a treat. Stuff is
amazingly easy.
