Why 'Obviously'. Just because its 'Plastic'. It depends on the actual material, design, method of manufacture, etc. Being plastic is not an automatic low limit to a safe working pressure.

The Chemical and Oil & Gas and Fuel Gas industries would be in big trouble it was. Local gas distribution is in big (or small) yellow plastic piping. What sort of pressures do you thing that runs at in the street and district distribution?
