Poly pipe connections

How do you connect poly pipe to valves and sprinkler heads. I have water pressure of 85 psi. Will this pipe hold?

The connection is simple. Check HERE.
You need to reduce your pressure. You are far outside of where it should be.
PGP recommended pressure> 40 to 60. Will work to 100 but not as efficiently.
Rain Bird 5000: 25-65
Rain Bird Nozzles: 15-30
Hunter nozzles: 20 to 40

Asking for all kinds of problems if you don't reduce pressure.
