If the PVC is fully enclosed in a wall or ceiling, and any pipe that
comes out into the open was metal, I'd consider it protected, but in a
shop where the pipes are exposed, and can get hit or stressed, I
wouldn't consider using it. PVC can break into many small pieces when it
is compromised, which is something I am not willing to chance, even when
it is in my shop where I am the only one working.
Peace,
Pat
