PVC pipe is not supposed to be exposed to hot water in the house.  That
would be CPCV.

I know nothing about the makeup of pvc pipe, but it seems to me that 
while your house's water suppy may not be under as much pressure as an 
air line, that pvc gets hot and cold continually, daily, for years 
without issue. It's exposed to extreme temps under your house, both hot 
and cold. It seems that if it can handle these changes, it could handle 
air pressure. Mine has only been in for 2 years, but no problems yet. 
However, I wouldn't want to loose an eye over pure speculation!
