hello, some of you might know me from air power.net, anyway i just bought a qev off mc master carr and then bothered to read the description
it was rated to 477 psi! now i dont know what the hell to do with it, i was thinking i should solder a copper cannon together and use the high pressure ability, any suggestions? :? heres the link: oh wait never mind, just search for'quick exhaust valve' and click on exhaust control valves. by the way i do not consider myself a noob i have made lots of cannons. :wink:

oh also i cant directly link to the page with the valve on mc master because even when your on the page with the valve it still sais mc master.com it doesnt say like http://www.mcmaster.com/valves
that was hard to explain.

But why did you post your question to thread that is 10 years old one..
Valve probably is ok, but I think it will cost very much if you buy a new one. Some people here have used standard qevs up to 400psi with no problems, but depends on the exact model and size.
