50psi is a safe route. No problems there. the fittings can largely effect the pressure effect noticed once the water leaves the pipes.

Can you use PVC pipe for propane plumbing?
NO !!!! Must be Galvanized pipe with threaded fittings or Copper piping with flare fittings. If there ever was a fire, the PVC pipe would burn & burst allowing the propane gas to flow out and explode !!
What is soft stage or plastic range is soldering?
When solder is neither solid or liquid, mushy state.
How would you distinguish between soft iron a piece of copper and a magnet?
The soft iron and magnet will attract each other - the copper will not be attracted to either of the other two.
Is plastic soft?
Vinyl can be as hard or soft as you want. You can make soft vinyl upholstery, or vinyl drain pipe so hard you can park a car on it without having it break.
If the melting point of soft solder is 224 degree centigrade.What will be is corresponding temperatures on Kelvin and Fahrenheit scales?
224 degrees centigrade = 497.15 kelvin or 435.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
How do you weld copper pipe to copper pipe - not brazed?
tig or mig depending on the wall thicknessCopper to copper is either soft soldered, or silver solderedSilver solder is a bad term as "solder" normally means lead content according to the AWS
Is soft solder a good conductor of electricity?
Yes: flux core solder is. No: acid core solder is not.
Can you use soldering copper pipe fittings for gas?
It is not a good idea to use copper pipe with natural gas as any sulphur compounds in the gas can cause an oxide to form in the copper pipe. Often copper is used with propane. In these instances, soft copper tubing is usually used with compression fittings. The tools required are, pipe cutter and 2 wrenches.
What has the author Arthur R Maupin written?
Arthur R Maupin has written: 'Strength of soft-soldered joints in copper tubing' -- subject(s): Copper Tubes, Solder and soldering, Tubes, Copper
What products are made using soft solder?
soft solder is made of tin and lead. :D
Does solder bend?
Yes. solder is very flexible and soft.
Can you use compression fittings on natural gas pipes?
No. You can use flared fittings with a flaring tool and soft copper pipe.
What solder do you use on copper tubing for plumbing?
Copper tubing solder "Solder" is an erroneous term as solder mean lead which of course is banned (safe water drinking act) Sweating is another term for "soldering" Copper can be joined by various alloys such as 95 % tin -5% Anatomy or one of the many silver bearing types of low temperature alloys. For the strongest possible joints brazing is the best way to go with a tensile strength over 87,000 PSI compared to soft solder joints of 16,000 PSI For DWV copper joints one can use one of the lead tin solders such as 50 -50 as it is quite easy to work woth.
What is the difference between hand soldering and soft soldering?
The type of material used to connect the pieces. Solder is used on copper or brass. Brazing uses a copper alloy and is used on Iron based items. Same process in how it is done.
what copper soft is?
soft
What is the lowest temperature that melts soft solder?
The melting point depends on the solder. The lowest I've seen is 395F.
How do you connect a PVC pipe to a lead pipe?
You can put the steel pipe inside of the lead and melt the lead to seal it. That's takes experience and some talent. You can join them with a rubber sleeve that is the right size on each end and held in place with hose clamps. One cannot solder/ lead wipe lead to steel as one is ferrous and the other non ferrous metal You can lead wipe /solder lead to copper /bronze / brass To join to steel one had to lead wipe a brass nipple (called solder nipple) into the lead pipe and you have either male or female threads and then a union or left and right nipple and coupling to make a proper connection.'' By the way you cannot do a lead poured joint of steel into lead you can put the steel into a cast Iron hub and then use a caulked joint. Also the use of a no hub or a mechanical coupling will not be good for a water or gas tight against a lead pipe as lead is to soft.
