Dear fellow Spudders.
Recently, I've been playing with sprinkler valves and I have come to the conclusion that these are just about the perfect valve to use on a pneumatic launcher, especially for beginners.
I've searched these forums, as well as the rest of the web and obtained as much information as possible, then I sat down, and learned all about them through hands-on experience.
After that, I decided to write it all down. Basically, this is a compilation of things that are found across the web and my own personal experiences with them.
I agree with you that these are good valves. I have taken my one inch valve up to 200 psi a few times with no problems. I have heavily modfied my blowgun and am still looking for 1/8 inch rubber, home depot only has 1/16 inch.
You are correct sir. They are a great valve to use on pretty much any pneumatic. After the completion of my advanced combustion cannon I am going to start on a pneumatic cannon. I'm sticking with all PVC construction so I'll keep it at 150 psi maybe 200psi. All this is going to be made possible with this bad boy!
I do not really slike sprinklers, too bulky and hard to find(if you come to switzerland then you will belive me). I think hammer valves and piston valves are far better, but thats just my two cents.
I'm new with sprinkler valves (especially modifying them). I tried downloading your info, but It isn't working. If i cant get them, where would you recommend I go to get info on them.
