Is this fitting pressure rated?

Hi

I just bought some new parts to upgrade my spud gun recently, but I'm not so sure whether this 3" endcap is safe or not. I thought it looked a little different from the other end-caps I had, but wasn't sure whether it was like that because it was bigger.

On the edge it says SCH40 PVC-1 IPS [NSF-PW] 3 DURA USA
but I don't see any pressure ratings.

I've also took a picture, sorry about the crap quality (cell phone pic). Anything look obviously wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Well it says nsf-pw so I think its pressure rated, but I don't know what pressure its rated to.

Hrm okay, as long as it's not the "other kind' of pipe that isn't rated. I'm not going to be pushing the pressure too high.

Thanks =).

i think i have an end cap similiar to it and i think its only rated to 23 psi or somewhere around there. i could be wrong though.

NSF-PW fittings are exactly what everyone else uses too, you're fine.
