those would be great for a shotgun. On nerfhaven someone used one for a nerf stotty.

You could also use one to direct 5 or 6 sprinkler valves into one barrel. (just the reverse of your idea)

hmm that would allow you to use 5 or 6 chambers, could be a possibility for a 6 shot rifle?

Looks pretty cool but are they pressure rated? Would be lots of fun if they were though.

i didnt find anything about pressure rated, was the first thing i looked for. i would think it would be ok for a combustion since its not cell core judging from alot of other non pressure rated guns here. although u could make the coolest looking multibarrel non firing spud gun on the site.

That's a great site. Ive ordered from him before. Pretty much everything on the site is pr, even the wyes! just make a memo on the order that everything must be pressure rated. Once they accidentally sent me a clean out cap and i was sent a new one on their dime.

Im about to make a double barreled shotgun with one. well, its a 2 way manifold. http://www.flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?c ... nifoldType. (the 3/4 to 1/2 one)

It wouldnt matter if its pressure rated really. If you tihnk about it, you would be sliding in a pressure rated pipe. So the pipe inside of it would have to burst before the actual fitting did.

Wrong what you are pretty much saying is you can use cell core crap bell reducers on a cannon.

That is not what im "pretty much saying". Judging from the reliability of this guy stated by other members i wouldnt think he would sell cellular core pipe. Im saying that from the picture it looks to be at least SCH 40 pipe. Even if that particular piece was not pressure rated i would trust SCH 40 adapters around a pressure rated pipe. And i wouldnt doubt that a few, if not many, others would feel the same.

And as far as the cell core i wouldnt advise it or consider it safe but it could be used if the inside were fully inserted with pressure rated piping. Its logical in my opinion. The pressure would have to break the piping before it even started to wear on the actual bell reducer. I would not use it, dont get me wrong. But it could be used at low pressures at least. And i wouldnt even use it at that unless every piece of the fitting was insolated with pressure rated pipe.

And from what has been talked about, this particular piece would most likely be used as a barrel fitting, which means it would come after the valve, which also means it would not be pressurized. So i would trust it completely. Pressure rated, or not.


EDIT - "Note: We don't sell drainage pipe or fittings and we specialize in schedule 40 and schedule 80 pressure fittings and valves" I found this on the website the pictured fitting came from.

I rest my case.

they SPECIALIZE, that doesn't mean they dont sell non- pressure fittings. Koolaid just said they sent him a non pressure rated cleanout cap, and they sent him a new one.

Non pressure rated does not mean that it is not safe. It just means that they have not tested it under pressure.

Yes it does mean its not safe.

Also sch 40 is not a rating its a thickness.
