I have used it in a hybrid.
its only good for under 4x.
I got it from a local pipe supplier.

well i was wanting to use it in a new gun im building (pneumatic) id prolly take it up to 150 psi but i was wondering if the pipe would be ok after i got it. like if they dropped in during shipping or something.

I would check it for damage(hairline cracks)

and 4" sch 80 is pretty strong stuff

The packaging should suffice as protection.

2" sch 40 usually is rated around 280 psi.
4" is alot less, especially in sch-40

The 2" sch 40 pvc pipe i get is rated to 220 psi, and so is the 4" sch 40 pvc.

hmm.
Interesting, usually the larger daimeters have lower ratings.
maybe I am thinking about 1.5" sch-40
