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

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!

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.

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

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