Something that no one has brought up in this iteration of the pipe thread
is the case when PVC has a small leak.  The depressurizing air will
cause the pipe to chill, making it brittle.  I believe that this
will be the cause of many failures.  Iron pipe will not become brittle
under these conditions.
