So this time I am going to be carefull on what I buy. Also, I am going to put a modded sprinkler valve on there, so prepare for a Ver...

Yeah, I would say that you check the seal. And if you are threading it in, use Teflon tape on all of the threads. Also, could you send me a picture of the blowgun?

When I took apart a 21L 2HP air compressor the other day I found the box where the electric stuff is mounted in and stuff actually had a diaphragm valve for some reason. So if you come across one of them just nick the diaphragm out which is perfect for sealing a 32mm Barrel. The reason it has a dia...

Oh man, do I have a story for all you guys. Ok, so I just realized that they gave me a 3/4 inch valve in the box. I am returning the shit, getting cash, and going somewhere else. I will find an orbit 1 inch. That pissed me off that there was a 3/4 in the box for a 1 inch. I am so going to put that v...

Ok, I went again to my local Home Depot. I got a Rain Bird Valve, the only 1 inch Rain bird that they had. So, it has the bleed screw in the center. Is it ok if I take that screw out, and just drill right where it was? Or should I just return it, get cash, and go somewhere else for a valve? Thanks, ...

Yeah, I have 1/2 tubing, and half inch barbs. I was just wondering if they were going to be too big. And Pyro, I think I am just going to take the valve back and get the Rain Bird.

I don't think that a mountain bike would be ideal. Get a one speed bike, like a BMX bike.

So I went shopping

I went to the home depot yesterday and returned my Jar Top Toro. So I bought a Lawn Genie valve. I brought it home, opened it up, and there was a guide rod, staring me in the face. I was kinda pissed. So I am too lazy to go return it, so is there any way I can get past the guide rod, like removing i...

So I think that I am going to return this jar top and get another valve. Like a rain bird inline, then mod it. Thanks for everyone's help.

The good thing about having interchangeable barrels is that you can put golf ball barrels on there, tennis ball barrels, anything that suits your fancy.
