Piston Valve Seat
Posted: Sat Nov 23, 2013 2:29 pm
New to spudfiles and working on a golf ball cannon. In the process and I now understand just how annoying it can be to find the right parts because most of the time they are highly uncommon. So I figured I'd post this part because any other metal piston valve seat I've seen has been either a hose fitting ~3/4", or soldered, welded or uses some kind of methods most people done have access to.
After visiting several industrial suppliers I was directed to a place that sells oil tanks, parts and accessories. They told me it was called a "double tapped bushing", and not having the correct size (2" x 1 1/2" x 1 1/2") had to order one in. It cost me only 15 bucks and is absolutely perfect for a 2" piston valve cannon.
I only have one pic of it because my picture files are too large for some reason (couldn't find a fix for this on the site) so if anyone could let me know about that it would be great. Will post much more progress stuff if I can solve that.
As you can see I already threaded in the seat (1 1/2" nipple)
