For high pressures, you can't get away with a vehicle type rubber connection. I usually take the rubber ones, strip off the rubber then epoxy the thing in place.Ianbuckwell wrote:Another thing! What Schrader valves/assemblies do people use? Is it just the regular rubber ones pulled through an end cap with the same size hole in as a wheel would have? Or do they go for the metal bolt on ones? It maybe my bad luck but car wise I always seem to have more luck with the regular rubber assemblies as the metal ones seem prone to snapping, say for example the gun/cannon was dropped. It !may just be that I have had cheap alloy ones in the past??
CorrectAlso can someone just clear something up for me, if I build a simple 'common' gun which is filled from just before the trigger I don't need to pierce a hole in the diagphram, correct or not so?
Any restriction smaller than the barrel diameter will hurt performance significantly.I haven't real got any plans set in stone for my gun, just measured tank hole diameter and it is about 8.9mm, so once I get a fitting in there the hole will be so much small
Not sure what you're trying to say here, a diagram would really help!And then have air for.additional shots, or to enlarge the outlet so air can be used without restriction from the tank so any other pipework can be kept short as possible, what do you guys thinks. The best option? My only concern with the 2nd option is having to drill/weld the tanks exit so it needs to be spot on if I inteemd to use 300psi in future.
No worries, that's what spudfiles is forPs I would just like to say thankyou and give a big thumbs up to Jackssmirkingrevenge for the unseen help he has given me via PM, I realize for the knowlegable people on this forum that newbie questions from memebers such as myself the answers must seem obvious, but I thank them for their patience and help.
