Don't do it. When PVC gets hot, it might release harmful chemicals into your fresh air stream. Alum or SS with some cheap silicone couplers would be a much better idea IMO.

ran it for 2 months off the cold side of the IC just try to grind a groove in it so the clamps grab even a little

i used those but ditch the bitchass clamps for some heavy duty ones. Just make sure they dont rub any sort of metal as they will tear like 17yr old cheerleaders -------
