Do you need any lubricant or other maintenance for a QEV?

So does a QEV require a maintenance dose of lubricant?

Next, what would one lubricate a QEV with?

And finally the little diaphragm/piston is that replaceable?

Perhaps this idea can be processed into something for the Spudwiki, a page of cannons that are good technical example of various traits, and articles that are worth the read. In fact, ...

I think the point has been missed! Basically so if I am researching the next evolution in Cannon design rather than have to search through a whole lot of average or unworkable designs, with a points based listing order I would hope to find what I needed quicker, while some threads of bad ideas and d...

I also noticed these are rated min operating pressure 50kpa and max 1mpa
when on mcmasters site they rate theirs as max 125kpa, is this a concern in any way?

Looking for a quieter valve/cannon design

I am planning my next projects namely 1/4" and 3/4" barrel devices approx 3' and after experiencing the noise of a 2" barrel piston cannon prototype, I would like something much quieter.
