Water Rocket Forum

Hello everyone, I've been doing water rockets for 3 years and every launcher I've constructed has been made out hydraulic PVC pipes (the only thing I could afford at the time) and they worked amazingly until yesterday when one of them exploded at 120 PSI (I usually use 200-250 PSI) now I'm afraid of using the rest of my launchers. So the question is: any other material I could use for my launchers? I've seen this CPVC pipes but I don't know if they'll work.
Any help is appreciated

At those pressures, you should switch to steel pipe.

PVC capability varies with age and temp.

I'm going with bugwubber on the steel launchers because ive had pvc gardena launcher explode on he around 175PSI.
