Ouch, I'm surprised, are you sure of the accuracy of the measuring
device?

Most (metal) domestic plumbing bits are only rated to 10 bar. Plastic
and hot a lot lower. A little bell is ringing that says the maximum
mains pressure ought to be about 6 bar. See what the Ofwat site has
to say?

As this was all discussed back in 2009 I suspect it all been resolved by
now.
