Did a system using sch 80 in a friends garage around 1981 or 82, still in use today with no issues. Pipe is well supported at all quick connect points, and line pressure is set at 100psi. this is a home shop and gets typical auto hobby usage. After reading Larry's alert (http://www.lni.wa.gov/Safety/Basics/HazAlerts/902.asp) I don't know if I would do it again without more research, but based on experience with the existing system would not rule it out.
