I have made a couple of cannons so far, but iam planing to make a new one that it actually planned out. If anyone can fill me in on pressure ratings for valves or copper pipe it would be a great help.

Most residential valves are rated 125 psi. Rain Bird has some that can do 150.

If you can find the heavy duty brass commercial inline valves, those can do over 200.
