All PVC parts used on the air gun have a max pressure rating of at least 280
psi.  70 lbs is well within safe  working pressures.  No I did not have a
certified Engineer test it, nor am I going to.

Should be stamped right on the side of the pipe. If it states "no pressure"
it is not to pressurize. They are usually also stated as "foam core". A 4"
non-foam core may state "220 psi as 68 F". Also check the reducers. The
package (where it is sold) states how much pressure, if any, it can operate
under.

Also remember: The safety requirements are different for tanks made for
pressurized liquid contrary to pressurized gas (such as air). The damages
from a ripped gas (air) tank is much more severe than from a tank filled
with liquid.

70 PSI.  Yes, but look out!  Some PVC pipes like Drain & Waste
pipes are not
rated for pressure.   Just sayin'.
