5500 ? i smell something a bull left up in hereA properly made solder joint will outlast and is stronger than propress.
A proper made solder joint is stronger than the pipe wall.
The solder joints I tested survived 5,000 + PSI and the pipe failed around 5500 psi. Type L soft copper.
My mistake, it’s been about 20 years ago. ....it burst at around 4000 psi. . Type L soft copper tube. Hard drawn burst pressure is way higher....5500 ? i smell something a bull left up in here
highest rating is 3800

That’s just being mean.I like to solder brass hose bibbs onto the copper male adapter.
