  • Do you use a non-return check valve in your launcher? If so, what kind and where did you get it?

  • @MrTomcarnahan

    I have a small none return valve glued into the inlet fitting at 0:37. I bought it from a boat and caravan supplies shop. I think it is used the in water lines as a none return valve. Its a small plastic tube with a spring and a ballbearing inside. Probably simpl enough to make yourself.

  • At 0:35, you show your Release Head which looks to be a brass Tee fitting with 3/8 inch male threads where the flex hoses come in.  What kind of connection is on the top that connects to the head assembly? Can you recommend somewhere one could purchase it on the web?

    Thanks!

  • nice systeme :)
