I was told my PVC air system was a bomb also. It's been 15 years and it is still working fine. I installed a 3/4" system in my pole building when it went up. The pipe is at the eve(12'). I installed standard flexible air hose for all of the drops down to 5' off the floor. The PVC is anchored every two feet along the entire run. I plumbed air at every post(6 drops). Each of the flexible hoses are anchored to the post as well so you can't tug on the PVC when you are looking for that last inch of hose. I installed a trap to catch water in the system at the air compressor which should catch any oil also. The system is only pressurized when I use it. I will never leave it on over night or if I leave for the day. I have also turned my relief valve down to 120psi. I figure if I can't make it work at 120psi I need to figure something else out. My neighbor is a professional diesel mechanic. He plumbed his shop with PVC at least 10 years before I moved in. The only problem he ever had was driving a nail through the pipe during a dry wall repair. Oh, and he runs his pressure at 130psi. I suppose if my system ever goes "BOOM" I will change it out but until then I will continue to use it.
