Refer to sig.

The only thing I've done is tear it apart and put it back together again.
Seems that it might stand more than the 125psi it's rated for.

I've got an idea (hasn't been seen before), but I wanted to see if anyone else had something better before I built it.

:lol:

You went off and bought a valve just because it was a tempting buy and now have to think of what the heck you're going to do with it.

Design first then purchase :wink:

These are just 1 1/2" quick exhaust valves correct? And are there any more for $10 because that really is a steal. :lol:

I also bought one of the valves off of ebay and i have absolutely no plans for it yet. Thinking about some sort of marble sniper. This post reminds me that i still need to make up plans. All that i've done is break it down. I am confused about the ports though. there are four. 2 are in/out ports. the 1/8" one is pilot. But what about the one next to the pilot? It is about 5/8" in diameter. I noticed there are 2 diaphrams. There is the huge (main) one and another below the pilot. Is the hole there to pilot one of them or what? I'm confused.
