No Way!!!!!!!! I saw some JackA$$ do this in a shop and while a co-worker was next to one of the lines it exploded. He is deaf in one ear now. Not to mention the scars on his face and ear.
Never Ever Do This!!!!!!!!!! The Dangers are far too great to take the cheap way out.
That new product might work better but never use PVC.
