H Lift-All Pressure

FBH44 · Sep 9, 2012

Jusrt curious about pump pressure. I get the idea the Life-All will put out 1200 psi or so. How in the world can 150# plumbing fittings survive, like all the ones i have in my hydraulicl ines???

The early ones were about 5-600PSI then later they went up to about 850 PSI.
Why would you doubt water pipe fittings I have used them on pressure in the 2000PSI like 806 and 1466 tractors. There is a difference in hyd fittings with pipe threads and water pipe fittings. The water pipe fittings are bushings or couplings. Unless you deadhead the pressure the pressure is only as great as it takes to lift the item you are using.

Be careful! Pipe fittings made in China may not hold the pressure. Example; on an inspected steam engine China made fittings need to be replaced yearly. US made fittings may go for five years or so.
