Back when I played paintball we ran 750-1000+ psi through lines rates at 100 psi, it was commonly done and passed safety check at all tourney's. In 5 years of doing it I only had one line let lose on me.... right after a flash fill (bad for the gear but when you have back to back games, it becomes standard) the line popped right next to my ear; screwed up my balance for about an hour (felt like being drunk).
I just cut the blown part of the line out and played my game... I hear now they have made new stuff to deal with the pressures we ran, but the old stuff worked just fine.
BTW, those lines were only about 2-3mm wall thickness...
Generally pressure ratings are 1/4 of the products burst pressure (and rarely does something actually burst at it's burst pressure!).

bought it because I was told it would never run again...I like to prove people wrong.

Your wife my be smarter than u think.On a side note, the little wife was looking over my shoulder while I was reading a post and she noticed "Kawasaki" being abbreviated to "Kaw". She was of the opinion that I should change the abbreviated form to "Kawk", so that we cam all ride a round on our hotrod Kawks. :dry: :huh: :pinch:
my freind tells me that KWAK was a comon term for a Kawi. and a rider is then called a KWAKR.
:laugh: LOOK CLOSELY AT the plate on sTEVES 1428.

As you can see in the last picture, I started to polish the edges of the fins.
