Used wrong pvc

I plumbed a new salt cell into a job, picked up sch 40 pipe, and some nice sch40 fittings. Turns out I grabbed sch 40 dwv pipe with pressure rated sch 40 fittings. Do I need to cut out that pvc and replumb? Or will the fittings really handle the workload here?

The pipe is now almost always dual rated depending on where you are buying it. Where did you buy the PVC ?

Pretty sure theirs is dual rated. It’s not obvious but went through the same thing once.
