<VV> Pe: Put a torch on a piece of PVC

[jay m]

I've determined that PVC (Sched 40) sprinkler pipe is just barely good 
enough for automotive cooling systems, as long as I use an adapter at 
each end and clamp onto steel.
If you clamp to the PVC it compresses and the hose loosens up.

But the PVC has been in service over 2 years and is working fine.
('61 w/3.8 transverse)
