Don't know where you got the fittings or hose, but if you get it from a paintball dealer they will be the right ones. Not sure what they rate at but used the fitings and tubing on all my markers, running CO2 and compressed air (850 psi output)and have never had one blow. I tried using macroline fittings that didn't come from a dealer and they blew out. Hope it helps.

: Seems all the fittings are at best 260psi working
: while the lines themselves are typically 1200psi
: working pressure. I discovered this AFTER blowing
: a 90 degree swivel elbow tonight, then going digging for the macro/microline article in paintball mag and voila, reason for failure at
: 850psi.
