1. PVC air piping (score: 1): Author: Eric Murray <ericm@lne.com>; Date: Wed, 1 Oct 1997 19:59:53 -0700 (PDT); Hi gang. The PVC air piping that's installed in the garage of the house I'm buying is in the walls, covered up by sheetrock. Does that make it safer? I'd think that the insulation between the sheetro; /html/shop-talk/1997-10/msg00003.html (8,059 bytes)
2. Re: PVC air piping (score: 1): Author: Berry Kercheval <kerch@parc.xerox.com>; Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 10:25:14 PDT; I'm surprised that the home passes inspection with PVC air pipes. If I were buying it I'd make them rip it out. I don't think anyone -- or at least very few people -- here is going to tell you "Yes,; /html/shop-talk/1997-10/msg00006.html (8,398 bytes)
3. RE: PVC air piping (score: 1): Author: Keith Kaplan <keithka@microsoft.com>; Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 11:17:49 -0700; I think we all agree it would be bad to have an air line rupture. I don't think sheetrock or plywood would contain the shrapnel, regardless of pipe material. Schedule 40 PVC air piping is better than; /html/shop-talk/1997-10/msg00008.html (10,481 bytes)

9. Re: PVC air piping (score: 1): Author: Berry Kercheval <kerch@parc.xerox.com>; Date: Mon, 6 Oct 1997 09:30:29 PDT; The hubbub seems to be that some folks think PVC air piping is unsafe, in that it is not resilient to surge pressures and can shatter when it fails. Other folks seem to think that since theirs hasn'; /html/shop-talk/1997-10/msg00020.html (8,834 bytes)

In a shop situation where you move things around metal parts could be flying, the pipe will take a blow. I am curious because I am about to; /html/shop-talk/1997-10/msg00025.html (10,218 bytes)
