The good news is the BURST rating of 1" schedule 80 PVC is 2000 PSI.... yep you read it right -- TWO THOUSAND PSI.... and it's rated for a maximum working pressure of 500 PSI... so your 125 or 150 psi should keep you out of the XRay room!



It really is good cheap "air storage" AND it doesn't rust!!
