Safe Pressures for Brass BSPP Elbows from China

I'm planning on using these brass BSPP elbows from China. They're the same as the ones being sold here:

What pressure would they be safe to use at?

I don't plan on going any higher than 450 PSI.

Will these be suitable?

Also, will I need to use Teflon tape?

Attached picture shows the brass elbows and QEV.

I wouldn't take that setup above 300 psi personally :roll:

And yes, you will have to use thread sealant when assembling your gun.

Dude, its says on the valve 8 kg per sq.cm max, which works out to 113 psi. 450 psi is a no no!


Unless that's the trigger pressure?

Most valves can be taken to way higher pressures as they r made of steel as seen by some builds on the site, however I am worried bout those brass fittings, they look cheap and chinese made:P
