Default DIY Brake bleeder question

I'm getting ready to make my own brake bleeder.
Here's the link:

My question is, what's the max PSI that I can pump it up to? I'm guessing 25 psi?

Neat idea. Pressure bleeders make the job a tad easier.... especially when there is only one of you. Don't think I would go much over 25 PSI on that though..... not sure what the plastic hose is rated for, but, I would be it ain't very high. Not to mention the seal at the cap/master interface. Don't wanna be blowing brake fluid everywhere.....

i just use a 2x4 if i have to do it by myself. pump brake, set 2x4 between seat and pedal and go bleed brakes. the seat usually applies enough pressure to get the job done
