Plumbing my garage for compressed air...

My dad made a pvc cannon once, well that wasn't his intention luckily no one was hurt.

It isn't the pipe that is the problem with pvc it is the joints and caps and fittings.

My dad's explosion was with sch 40 pipe, but on of the end caps apparently could not handle the pressure and blew. If you use PVC make sure you use quality fittings and clean prime and glue them very well.
