There are numerous OSHA references on the internet that say;
"It is our position that PVC pipe shall not be used as a means of transporting compressed air. "

The danger is that it shatters upon failure. There are types of plastic pipe rated for compressed gas use but I do not think the standard PVC pipe should be used for compressed air.
Checked AM and the Clippard air tank is listed as made of polypropylene plastic -not PVC but given how it shattered I would be wary of using.
