My computor didnt like the adobe file, so I couldnt check if there were any prices on there. How much are they? I mean if they are reasonably priced then hell get me one, but odds are they are gonna be pricey, like anything else worth having. Sigh

i am calling them tomorrow for prices ill let u know...

the valve i called a Diaphragmvalve

for those who cant open the pdf link above here is a html link...

Thanks, and those vaslves look pretty nice, maybe I will invest in one depending on the price...

Wow thats nice... 6 inch solvent weld... definatly looks modable.

DANG....those are big diaphragm valves . Although needless to say 6" is overkill for a TB launcher, 3" should suffice. And it's pretty much the same design as a rainbird so you could easily mod it.

That's awesome, good find! make sure you post how much they are when you find out. thanks

i will post the prices as soon as i get them i have called the company and ill receive a price list by mail

Woh! They make a 3" valve look like somthing a midjet crapped out!

Hmm. I think we need one order of an 8" porting barrel sealer, built to take 300 psi - and then we'll see about the ultimate valve...

On a serious note, nice find, but I'm not sure they'll be accessible to most people.

Hmmm, how is it vented?

To vent an 8" piston valve, I'll need to find a 1.5" QEV...

But, sensibly, it looks like many of the valves in that link are remotely activated, in a fashion not too distant to using a blowgun on a regular sprinkler valve.
