just a word of caution on PVC...

Never ever assume that since PVC can hold 60 - 90 psi of water, will it hold the same in only air pressure.

I have seen many many PVC pipes explode and it can put you in the hospital or kill someone. i goes off like a stick of dynamite. - seen that mistake so many times in machine and mechanics shops where they cheap out and use PVC for their air supply, it is not even funny.


20-30 psi, not too harmful, but don't expect it be anything near safe with higher pressures.
