Yes, the PTFE material complies with FDA regulation 21CFR Part 177.1550 for contact with water, food, and beverages.
Multiply the working pressure at 70°F by the appropriate factor listed in the Pressure-Temperature Rating Factors table.
They are pressure tested with water for 30 to 60 seconds at 1.5 times the working pressure to ensure no visible leakage.
