yea i pretty sure i have the sprinler fowing the right direction and my blowgun is on how you said it should be too. Also when i go to fill the tank up with my air compressor the air is going into the tank but the pressure gauge has no reading. Does this mean i have a leak somewhere?

Air nossel question

I am building a spud gun that uses the sprinkler valve witha blow gun. It has an air pressure gauge on the chamber but i cant seem to find a air nossel to put on my chamber so i can put pressurized air into it. Can anyone steer me in the right direction of where i can find what i need.
