Re: Safety Alert please read!
There is plastic pipe suitable for compressed gas use and they are typically labeled as such. They are designed to split open upon failure and not throw fragments.
I mentioned this issue for 2 reasons;
1) A lot of folks do not realize that it is not a good idea to use the rigid PVC water pipe from the hardware store for compressed gases (unless buried or encased) because it shatters upon failure.
2) The air tank in question is listed as being made of polypropylene but the way it shattered upon failure is cause for concern.
