If you got the pressure over 200 PSI, something is badly wrong. The tubing would probably blow before 500 PSI and almost certainly before 1000 PSI.

Re: 120 psi

This is mostly irrelevant, but I accidentally discovered last weekend that the regulators can make a noise that is amazingly close to that of a foghorn. The trick is start with one completely closed with some pressure already in the system, then slowly let more pressure through. Just something that might be amusing to try if you're off in the corner working on pneumatics...

The KOP tubing is rated at 175 psi, I believe.
