that can vary greatly. it all depends on the material and the wall thickness.

I'd say the wall thickness is at least a mm, just used it at 60 psi and it work fine and have used it at 125 as I have said before.

I got it at homedepot and it didn't say anything it came coiled up and attached with a cardboard thing, i even checked in the store and it didn't say anything except "not for use with icemaker" on the tube.

if it doesnt say the exact pressure of the hose then i couldnt give you a more specific answer.

i use some 1/4inch od tubing for my ac compressor. but that is much more than 1mm thick and its nylon not vinyl

thanks for the info I will use it up to 125 because that is all I can get up too, but thanks for the info, I just didn't want it to blow in my face
