I like your style but that is regular pvc pipe.
Not very safe...

Eh, I think your gun's fine. starman is right about performance, but the screws are good enough. Assuming that's not all DWV piping. :P

Check out http://www.burntlatke.com -- they have a lot of good information about making a propane meter/injection system.

nice simple little gun
screws are fine I mean look at the mauler valve which is under much more pressure than this and it holds up fine :P

I decide to make a propane system to this beast And I want to ask you maybe I need some extra layer to my chamber or something because I'm worried about its strength...
