What is a proper water pressure for copper piping?

I recently installed a water softener and had the plumber up the water pressure to compensate for loss of pressure thru the water softener, it is now at 70 psi (the regulator outside the house was adjusted) - I am paranoid, is this OK for copper piping?? Should I have it turned back to 55 which is where it started at ?

If you have yours rebuilt then they crack open your transmission, they look at a gear and if it is visibly worn they replace it, then they throw all the old parts and gaskets back in the case. If you buy a rebuilt one from the parts store then those are rebuilt in China and you know how good China is as far as quality.

your best bet would be to look for a used and fuctional transmission on another Trans Am. And that transmission may go out fast, your car may become a hungry tyrant for tranny repairs.

Mine was set at 65 pounds, P.S.I. after a new well and pump, piping. I had to make several adjustments in the taps due to leaking but, everythings O.K. since I had some foresight and put in 3/4 inch Cooper pipe, with 1/2 inch take-offs, I never have a water shortage. I can turn every faucet in the house on without loss of pressure.

Copper pipe can handle a lot more pressure than that. You just don't want to go over 80 psi, because the connections to your faucets might blow apart above that. Trust me, when we test a water system for an inspection, we put 1 1/2 times the normal working pressure, for 24 hours, on all our systems to certify that they are tight. That is about 125 psi to 150 psi, so you don't have a thing to worry about. Take care!

You should call some of the local trans shops.Some will be higher than others.Make sure you get a good warrenty for the work.Replacement will also be a lot more than a overhaul.Hope this helps.
