plastic piping problem?

a 150 ft run of DWV PVC plastic drainage line is suddenly subjected to a flow of hot water from an industrial process. the effective tempreature of the pipe rises to 120 deg-F from the factory tempreature of 60 deg-F. by how many inches will it increase in length ??

The coefficient of expansion for PVC pipe is 34 x 10^-6 inches per inch per degree F.

So for 150 feet x 12 in/ft. x 60 deg x 0.000034 = 3.672 inches
