Mega press for steam question

I was talking with a contractor installing one of the boilers I sold and asked if he was going to use Megapress He said he would on the large fittings but not on the smaller ones. I thought it was the cost but he said the small fittings are only rated for only 5 psi. Is that true? Are the small fittings only rated for 5 psi

    Not a good idea to use MegaPress on steam, since it's too easy for the fittings to sag over time. And we know what that causes……………
