1. PVC pipe was re: air compressors (score: 1): Author: britcars@hpfckjs.fc.hp.com; Date: Fri, 12 Jun 92 8:53:47 MDT; I read an article somewhere can't place it now. But the jist of the article was that PVC pipe was a very bad idea for plumming high pressure air lines. there were several reasons listed, the most com; /html/british-cars/1992-06/msg00248.html (8,241 bytes)

But, I know that copper pipe works good, and has all those fittings & adapters available. PVC wouldn't corrode tho..

(Sorry, I'm a bit touchy about compressors at the moment -- my Ingersol-Rand ate itself last night: broken connecting rod. What a bummer!

Re: PVC pipe was re: air compressors (score: 1): Author: sbender@dsd.es.com (Steve Bender); Date: Fri, 12 Jun 92 10:12:22 MDT; If you use the super-economy stuff this may be true because it is only rated at 180 or 200 psi. I don't see why it should'nt be reasonable to use schedule 40 PVC which is rated at 480 psi and only c; /html/british-cars/1992-06/msg00253.html (8,337 bytes)
5. Re: PVC pipe was re: air compressors (score: 1): Author: whs70@dancer.cc.bellcore.com (sohl,william h); Date: 12 Jun 1992 12:50 EDT; That was my point in asking. Even with a rating of 180-200 psi, that is considerably higher than most home shop compressors can even come close to. My Sears unit can generate up to 125 psi and that; /html/british-cars/1992-06/msg00256.html (9,614 bytes)
6. Re: PVC pipe was re: air compressors (score: 1): Author: acg@hermes.dlogics.com; Date: Fri, 12 Jun 1992 12:35:30 CDT; Hmmm. Might it be possible for pulses from the compressor to exceed 180 psi? In other words, the pressure in the lines may AVERAGE 100-120 psi, but the individual bumps from the compressor might go s; /html/british-cars/1992-06/msg00258.html (7,852 bytes)

Re: PVC pipe was re: air compressors (score: 1): Author: whs70@dancer.cc.bellcore.com (sohl,william h); Date: 12 Jun 1992 14:24 EDT; That would be likely if there was no tank, I'd expect the tank (20 gallon in my case) to act as a "buffer" or capacitor to smooth out any sudden pressure increases due to the action of each stroke o; /html/british-cars/1992-06/msg00270.html (8,481 bytes)

I just haven't gotten around to it yet. That stuff is rated at 600 psi, which seems adequate to me. I saw a demonstration of QA test; /html/british-cars/1992-06/msg00274.html (8,042 bytes)
