PSI rating for hydrostatic lines

Anybody happen to know what the psi rating for the hydrostatic
lines is? I'm thinking of putting in braided stainless line thats
rated at 1500 Psi
Thanks

Normal operating pressure is around 280 psi, so I think your lines would be more than adequate Kent

I was just trying to find the article, but I have a recollection that the flex lines to the Bags have a rating of 2000 PSI.

While Andrew's correct that the (static) pressure is of the order of 280 PSI, in use, it's not uncommon for it to go to 1200 PSI.

Good point Chris, hadn't given operating pressures a thought.

Is that 1500 psi operating or burst pressure Kent ? If operating then I'd have thought they'd be fine as burst is normally several times higher than operating.

Thanks for info guys, I'll check on the burst pressure vs operating pressure.

It looks like the stainless hose has 1500 psi working pressure
