hmm, if its cellular core i wouldnt trust it, but if its got a pressure rating on it, its fine, you may have pressure rated pipe, and you just ended up with a section that didnt have the rating on it, OR you have cellular core pipe. really, if i were you i'd scrap it and build it again, you're only gonna be out about 20-30 bucks compared to a few hundred for a trip to the ER if the damned thing blows on you

congrats on the desicision of building a spudgun, it has been said that it is ok if it is drain waste vent, but only for a combustion.
