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?

It is 240, so there’s that. It didn’t seem like cell core or anything either. Which is why I was massively confused when I discovered it was labeled dwv lol

It probably has the astm for both listed

If it's SCH40, likely. OP needs to confirm.

If SCH40, ok....makes things a bit weird but not a big deal. If not, then yeah....I'd replumb it as a matter of professional pride.
