Here some pics of the garage...not allowed to work in it though, use the driveway for all the work, and its held up every weekend got to make sure you claim it or your SOL.
The best part of the garage, its always filled with cold miller lite
Newest edition to the garage new compressor and two different air attachments with valves and regulaters

Well the toolboxes and cabinets are full of tools and we use the garage as our front door, plus the bike is always in there, I worked on my truck once in the garage, and that was before it was mine.
Shoot my moms car goes in the garage maybe 3 times a year, convertibles and fireworks/Hurricanes dont agree.
But the driveway is easier to pressure wash, and I dont have to deal with any snow

3/4" PVC has a max operating pressure of 413 psi for schedule 80 with a burst strength of 2200 psi.
Schedule 40 has a max operating pressure of 289 psi with a burst strength of 1540 psi.
1/2" PVC can stand higher pressure than 3/4". I can't tell what size that is in the picture.

I won't dispute that since I'm not looking at any detailed information on PVC right now; however, two weak points I notice right off the bat are the glued joints and the application itself.
What's the burst strength of a glued joint *assuming* proper application? Then, there's fatigue to the PVC itself from vibration. I've seen PVC in water applications that was cracked from freezing shatter like a chicken bone.
FWIW, I don't believe PVC or even CPVC are recommended for this type of application.

That glue is pretty stout if it's cleaned first and the primer/glue is used correctly.
I see where you're coming from with the vibration deal because I have seen PVC shatter before too.
