Message	We run a lot of PVC piping, and anything 150 or above will cause the pipes to deform plastically. They can also not handle pressure at that temp. CPVC is an alternative we use for higher temps, but that only buys us ~180F. I don't know what the discharge air temps are from the compressor, but I don't think it would hold up. ABS is an alternative... ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD) 1969 Chevelle (Toy)
