Seems to me that if PVC rated at 400+ PSI fails at anything less than 400 PSI then it was either:
A) Not actually rated
B) Not properly used (exposed to conditions it wasn't rated for, etc.)

actually,
since PVC is pressure rated for water only....
Air compresses differently than water(dont remember the exact science)....
which is why, PVC can(not will)-fail at much lower psi's than its rated for....
