OK, so now I have plugged all of the leaks I made trying to fix others... now I have shortened the cable to about 1 1/2ft in length, and my test chamber is about 5 feet by 1" dia. I have taken out the little piece of plastic that plugs the equalization hole in the phram. I filed down the edges of th...

Thanks for being optimistic... I live in Mass. The store I bought it in is called "Harvey's Hardware" in Needham, a suburb of Boston. It actually cost less than one that had a max pressure of like 30psi. The sound is like a high pitched phraaaaaaaa! Not that that is very descriptive, but I couldn't ...

I got the safty nozzle off in like 2 seconds... there is primer on the threads is there becuase that was leaking, so I glued it up... when I'm done itll need to be there anyway and I also only did that like 1 hour ago... before it wasnt working at all. I got the blowgun at a Ace Hardware reseller......

I was under the impression, (view the beginning few posts on this thread) that I didn't have a guide rod... I'll try to see if taking the safty nozzle off the blowgun makes any difference, that might take me about 30 minutes... ive never done it.

Okay, so now I have solved all of the leaking problems and such. New one. :evil: I made a very small chamber to test my valve, it is about 2 feet long and 1" dia. I went up to 60psi with no leaking. When I triggered my blowgun valve, all of the air on the inside of the valve and in the chamber just ...

I don't think it is a problem with how fast it is filled... I wouldn't know very well, but I don't really see how it could be. The faster you let it in the faster it comes out. Also, where can you buy a ball valve, just in case? Update! I tweaked a few things in the valve and now it isn't leaking ou...

Unfortunatly, I do have the arrows pointing in the right direction. Could anyone elaborate on how to fix it like keep_it_real explained? I just don't want to mess up something that cost me $22. Thanks... *edit* and it is actually a one inch sprinkler valve from orbit, so hopefully it can be fixed ho...

I'm using this for my main valve, and if I can get pneumatic actuation to work, then I'm going to buy another and hook up dual-firing.

I hade a different valve, but the same problem. take it apart and you will see ( should see anyway) a small piece of plastic that is maybe 1/4'' tall and 1/4'' wide. It just sits in the diaphram, take it out and it should work. what it does is it plugs up the equilization port. Unfortunatly, the sp...

I thought this would be a fitting question considering the title of your post is "fittings". I was wondering what the most highly used, (a.k.a. cheap/reliable) website/store for buying pressure rated pvc fittings... surprisingly, Home Depot does not sell pressure rated fittings.

Hi... I'm new to pneumatic cannons so I was hoping a few people here could help me out. I was going to buy all of my items from spudtech.com, but unfortunately Joel is away and isn't running the order form. I was wondering if this sprinkler valve will work for pneumatic actuation. I bought this one ...
