i wouldnt go over 150. the pipe may say higher, but things like the heat/cold and the sun and other factors decrease the max pressure.
you could get away with what ever the ratting of the pipe is, but i would say 150 to be safe.

It has dwv elbows. DWV isn't rated so I wouldn't take it over more than 60. Even then I'd be scared.
