 I wouldn't use compression fittings for any pressure over 150lbs...
I've seen the results of a blown comp fitting, 18" of water in the 
basement, and the only reason it wasn't deeper, was the toilet
was busy flushing...do you realize how much water a 1/2"  line
puts out at 150psi??  And no, the stop didn't break, the fitting
was pushed off the line...cost a lot of money to fix that little 
problem...
