dwv can hold over 100, but stay in the 50-80 psi area.

well i worried that the end cap will either explode or shoot off. will the couplings matter because all the are doing is hold the bushings on to the pipe?

does anyone actually know how high the fittings can go to. Would it be safe to use a pressure rated cap in DWV fittings at 100 psi?

I wouldnt personaly,because i have had these blow off on combustion and they are said to produce around 30-50 psi peach preasure,so jus keep it down a little lower or use pressure rated items.
