I captured this from spike33127's youtube "making a QEV" video. Does anyone know what the three parts are that I labeled with arrows and where can I get them?

The big T thing is a brass female T, the long skinny object looks like a hose barb, and the other thing is the piston.

If I were to walk into Lowes, Home Depot, etc, what would look for. Is the "T" a compression fitting or something else? And what are the other bits called? I understand it is his piston.

No the T is you screw it in and it is a male woops sry T. well the long one is a hose barb. and the other one the piston well it is homemade like out of epoxy.

You go to the (bathroom) plumbing area. Should be near the PVC isle.

That is a hose barb, and the piston is a brass piece of some sort, likely with a sealing face.

I have actually been thinking about those pieces myself, the T does not look like a regular NPT threaded T, I'm not sure why, but it really seems like a hose thread, those O rings also look like hose rings, I could be wrong, probably am... but oh well.

I have actually been thinking of building a QEV, since my last piston gun was a dud, so my next one will be modular so I can fix things easier...

Good luck!

Does any one speak french.... :lol: :lol: :lol: . also the lower piece looks like part of a compression fitting and so does the tee because look at the other two parts over on the top left, arent they the rest of the compression fitting.
