What is the maximum water pressure ?
What is the maximum water pressure that any T.T. hot or cold water pipes will take when hook up to city water? I know use a pressure regulator. Which I do. Thank you all-:@

PEX tubing is available in different pressure ratings and RVs typically use the one rated for max. 100 psi. You will find the rating on the wall of the tubing. I just did some plumbing mods and all the tubing was marked 100 psi. I have seen the same on two previous TTs as well. I bought some red and blue PEX from a local RV dealer and it was rated 160 psi.
Fittings (tees, elbows, couplings, etc.) are usually plastic and I have not yet seen a rating for them. Things like check valves, toilet valves and faucets probably aren't good for higher than 100 psi, but that's just a guess on my part. I don't think I'd ever want to exceed 100 psi. We have a Watts 263A inside our TT set at 50 psi. We also use a high pressure Valterra hose rated for 200 psi.
