I see some of the fitting on our hpa fill line are made from brass and some are made from stainless steel. Are they both rated up to 4500 psi? Which is stronger? Or does it matter which type i get for my hpa fittings.

brass int that great .. id avoid it on the 'high side' anyway ie, filling a bottle to 4500 .. prolly alright filling a gun to 3k with them ..

I am thinking of using this elbow adapter to fill my tank to 4500 psi. Would it handle 4500 psi? Description doesn't say the rating. Most quick fill connector that came with my hpa hose lines are brass, few are stainless steel. So I would think this brass adapter could handle 4500 psi?

What's the rating on the fitting? Doesn't matter if it's brass or stainless as long as its rated for the attended pressures.
If your fill line is used on a 4500 psi pump then I would bet ever fitting and hose used on the pressure side of things is rated for 5000 + psi.

Doesnt say, that's why I asked if brass can handle 4500 psi. Or should I find stainless steel. Pic in the above comment.

Brass works to 200 BAR/3000 psi, but usually is used for lower pressure. Use stainless steel for anything over that. Muddydogs is right! Do not use if you do not have a rating from the manufacturer.

It would probably work but i'd say stay away from a brass 90 as it will get tugged back and forth. The cost of Stainless is worth the price difference and not get hurt.

simple , if it does not have a rating DO NOT USE IT . If it blows up and injures somebody/ thing then you don't have any legal standing .

that brass elbow on flea bay is a 150 psi fitting,, that said, it is not the material but wall thickness to interior volume ratio for a said material, the bigger the vessel, the thicker the wall thickness,, my Zbroia comes with brass fill probe for a 300 bar(4250 psi) gun,, higher pressure fittings will usually say the psi rating,,
