Seconds. 1 to 5, maybe.

Speaking of which, if the water pressure is 60PSI, does that mean the
maximum pressure on the joint is 22 pounds?

Nope, 60 psi.

I have to be more careful with my wording. Of course the pressure is 60psi;
I meant "force". There is less than a half inch cross section (3/4" pipe),
so that comes to about 22 pounds.
Or does it not work that way?
Probably involves hydrodynamics or something.
