piston valves for sale
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 10:43 pm
Ok, I have an idea for the making of barrel sealing piston valves. I was wondering what porting people would be interested in, and would be the most productive for me to sell.
I haven’t decided on any prices yet, due to the fact that A: I'm not sure what porting I'm going to make and B: I'm not sure how labor intensive it will be.
You can open the valve and it will be fully serviceable, and it will have o-rings. Also the fittings will be totally flush (not lathed down, but it wont have extensions coming off the back for the piston. I will try and offer them at a fairly reasonable price, and I will make them look nice, and I can customize them to your liking (within reason, given that I don’t have a machine shop). For example, I could build different port sized to your liking.
This mainly depends on whether or not I get my drill press.
I have put up a poll, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to post them.
In theory I could buy what I need to make portings all the way from 1/2" to 4" but that would be damn pricey and I would have to raise the prices accordingly to get my money back (depending on demand, I would only raise a bit)
The main advantage of my valves is that they are going to be well made, for a low price. They may not be as nice as the mauler series (ill test the prototype for performance) but they will be cheaper
The availability/sized of these valves would depend mainly upon the availability of the necessary parts (o-rings, T's, fittings, etc.)
