Well the black plastic pipe is a lesser grade than PVC. The problem using PVC for air is not the pipe but the way people install and use it. If you regulate the pressure down from the compressor to about 100 psi before you go to PVC it will help a lot. The biggest problem with PVC is nobody secures it very well. They run the pipe all the way to the end and put a coupling right on the PVC. Then when someone pulls on hose it busts the pipe. I use a black pipe joint which I weld a mounting plate to it to where I can firmly bolt it to the building to connect the PVC to which the coupling is mounted to. After working around PVC used for compressed air for more than 40 years I've never seen a pipe burst on it's own. There has been 0 pipe broken in my shop and the pipe is more than 25 years old now. I will soon be remodeling the shop and will replace the pipe with new PVC as I know the pipe tends to get more brittle when it gets old.
