Eric,

  I strongly not pressure testing the PVC.  It may hold pressure for a 
while.  But, the lines WILL EXPLODE some time.  There is a warning on SOL
someplace about that.  I also have a friend that has a huge shop that
was all plumbed with high pressure PVC.  It lasted several years.  One
day it blew out!  Luckly, it blew up in a corner in the ceiling.  He said
it was like a cannon going off and shrap PVC all over the place.  The 
section that blew was at the far end of the shop so no one was hurt!!!!!
