Certainly, as long as you take into consideration expansion and contraction due to temperature changes if the run will be exposed to them. Expansion fittings are made for this purpose.

Other considerations include type of occupancy, 518.4 excludes pvc above grade, health care and hazardous locations are also places where restrictions are placed. PVC isn't often allowed in plenum spaces or locations with unusually high ambient temperatures. Finally the local codes are the final say.

It's still a valid point, Hal. You should see my wife and I battling with the thermostat all the time.
