I have seen a number of those fittings fail on the shop compressed air system at a low 165-170 psi.
Best of luck and do be careful...Robert

Thanks for the tip Robert. I got all the parts from a local hydraulic supply house, and I just assumed it would be safe since they pieced it all together. I am done testing for now. If I do any more testing in the future I will replace what I have now with some quality steel fittings and a short piece of Teflon hydraulic hose.
