std pressure rating of plumbing fixtures & fittings

(OP)
what is the std pressure rating of plumbing fixtures & fittings (taps etc...)?

RE: std pressure rating of plumbing fixtures & fittings

In the UK I believe it is 10bar.

90% of a project takes 90% of the time...the last 10% of a project takes the other 90% of the time!

RE: std pressure rating of plumbing fixtures & fittings

Supply fittings are designed for a rated supply pressure of 690 kPa (100 psi) and functional between 140 and 860 kPa (20 and 125 psi).  See ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1.

RE: std pressure rating of plumbing fixtures & fittings

The IPC (International Plumbing Code) limits supply pressure to fixtures to 80 psi.

RE: std pressure rating of plumbing fixtures & fittings

The majority of plumbing fixtures are designed to operate at 55psig. Flush valves, ballcocks, faucets are all designed to operate normally at this pressure.
