Default how high is too high for residential water pressure?

If you go to high you take the chance of blowing out your copper sweat

joints. Think of the cost of replacing copper joints in a wall somewhere.
Not to mention the water damage caused by a break.


Have you ever checked the pressure a proper sweated joint can take? Far
beyond the 100 psi or so you'd find in any water system.
