central - east central Minnesota - | putt putt - 2/9/2011 15:25 I was my local fire station a couple of weeks ago and noticed that they have pvc piping for their air lines. I was just wondering if anyone has any "after" pictures of what could happen from useing pvc. I think that if I show some pictures to the guys on the department I may have a better chance at getting them to change out the air lines. Thanks
Firedepartment . . . really ????

PVC gets brittle with age . . . . it's a matter of time. A lower pressure relief valve of some type would sure help. If it didn't get replaced or guarded some why.
Edit for search tags - PVC, OSHA, explosion, airline
