the weekest link in your house should be the temp/pressure relief on your hot water heater, they are designed to start lifting at 110PSI. if you put a gauge right after that reducer and slowly dial it up (do it a little, run a tap for a sec and let it stabalize) you can safely take it up to 80PSI with no worries. now having said that if something starts to leak at 80 PSI then it needed fixing anyways
