Out of curiosity, have you ever heard of an incident involving a sprinkler valve failure?
There are
plenty of stories about and warnings against using PVC to store air, but I have never before heard someone claim that using a sprinkler valve would be dangerous.
Sprinkler valves are typically
very solid. I wish I had a data sheet on hand for one of them. If someone does, could you read off the ratings?
