I know that this is probably a stupid question, but for a new project that I am working on, I am going to have to use brass pipe (the kind that is supposed to be used as a pipe nipple) and I was wondering what kind of pressure I could use this pipe at. The pipe will probably range in diameter from 1'' to 1/4''.
Again, I know this is a stupid question, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most of the small (<1") brass I've seen is rated to at least 250psi. The valve will probably be rated for less than the pipe.
Exactly what application are we talking about?

Sorry, I should have explained what I was going to use it for a little better. The pipe is for a small paintball gun, and the air compressor that I have will only go up to 100 psi, so that will be the max. pressure. The gun will probably be about the size of a real paintball gun or smaller.
