Scrap the bell reducer. And I was wrong about the chamber, disregard what is written below.

It reads: 7200 2" Type 1 SCH 40 ASTM D-2665 NSF-dwv PVC 1120 PR 280 PSI @ 23c ASTM D-1785

Sch 40 is just the wall thickness. That means pretty much nothing. What you need to see is SCH 40 NSF-PW, Not DWV

It says pr 280psi idiot. Therefore it is ok to use don't listen to blind.

God Damn People, Sch 40 is just a wall thickness. Read all the writing in red on your air chamber.

No crap blind but it also says PR 280psi which means it is pressure rated if it has a rating on it it is ok it use.

Ok, but part of it is still DWV, the bell reducer.

ok, so if the chamber was was 1mm thick and it says it can go to 250psi do u think it's true!!!

i think it's better to have a thicker wall and have it say 200psi then a thin wall saying 500psi

Well you said scrap the whole chamber which he doesn't need to do.
