i really like the idea of the O-ringless valve, you can take the housing apart waay faster seeing as you dont have to take out 6-8 screws, and you can also touch up the sealing face of your barrel if needed.
@deedevil63 Yeah, I just wish I could find those parts big enough for a 2 or 3" valve! Maybe I could special order something..... Hmmm, now I'm curious. I'll get back to this one for sure.
I think it was a 3 1/8" which gave me a piece of wood just barely under 3" diameter. I then bolted them all together, put the bolt in a drill, spun the piston and used a sanding block to get the piston smooth and just small enough to fit in the pipe easily.
The piston valve is 2" (larger than the sprinkler valve) and much faster. The sprinkler valve is just a fast trigger for the larger, faster piston valve.
@techwizzy Yeah, I really should do a short video. I got it o-ringed and then, of course, had to build in a check valve so I could force air into the cannon. What I really need to do is build a super light piston to replace this one all together...
@VerbotenDingleberry I upgraded the piston in my 2" pison valve to a spool type with floating o-rings that made a check valve and it works really well but it weighs like a pound! It's ok though, I have a good bumper but I would still like a lighter piston.
i just got back from lowes and anbd had some problems. when u have teh 1 1/4 pvc as the piston. can it still go thru the 2inside the coupler to hit that back end?
My Lowes had some plain sheet rubber in the plumbing section that worked very well. Just glue it to the front. I've seen most people put a screw and washer in the center to help hold on the rubber.
You might find some steel washers that fit. If you put a short piece of pipe inside each end they could hold the washers in place. . That could be lighter than filling it with hot glue. Or you might just fill the ends with a half inch or so, not solid from end to end. The lighter it is the faster the valve will open and that's what you're after.
It will need to be able to take some abuse though, so be safe...
Great videos, but one note for the 2" barrel sealer when I make mine I put the threads on the pilot side so you dont have to mess with the barrel changing distances.
Thanks. These things are great fun but not worth getting hurt over so I try to stress safety in my vids. I'd hate like heck to see anyone get hurt doing this stuff...
Yes, that's the point of the bolts and o-ring on the bushing (or the screw together alternate design). They will need periodic lubrication and possibly a new rubber sealing face from time to time...
u could drill holes in the piston to lighten it up that will make it open faster and have less force when it his the bumber which will lessen the recoill and the chance of your vent system brake
DWV isn't pressure rated.t's just for Drains, Waste and Vents; no need to be very strong. Under pressure this stuff can blow apart and cut you up pretty badly. it's pretty ugly. In combustions it's not as bad because the pressures are lower but at 100 PSI or more it can get very nasty when one blows up.
yea i made a test chamber, was just pipe with two dwv endcaps, using my dads compressor from the navy base it busted at about 150 psi, and a few pieces of shrapnel came out pretty fast
Great video, perfect for beginners. I plan on posting mine during the middle of the week. Glad to see yours finally done, Can't wait for damage videos.
hey great video!!! but can u scale this project down to make a paint ball gun? a semi automatic one that is

I Tape the hell out of my pressure chamber AND fit a bigger pipe over it all for my HHO "spudder"

how do you join the couplings to the T??? do you just use a small piece of pipe and glue it to the inside???
mattyzip77 7 months ago
@mattyzip77 Yup, just as simple as that.

What size hole saw did you use to cut the circles of plywood for the piston?

@VerbotenDingleberry does adding a piston make it stronger than just modded sprinkler valve

It's a 1.25" Connector, not the pipe but the connector for 1.25" pipe. That should fit almost perfectly inside 2" pipe...
VerbotenDingleberry 2 years ago
ol yea thanks i got it now just trying to get stuff to fillit with (thinking a hot glue gun) and something to put on the front to seal the barrel

Thanks. I 'm a beginner with these things too, no question.
Once I improve the piston and get a perfect seal I have something "special" planned for a power test. Should be fun...
