hi there,im currently using a ball valve in my metal pneumatic. it is just a standard over-under design. i want to upgrade the valve to either a piston valve or a diaghpram valve. does anyone have any ideas on how to make such a valve out of metal? or is it possible (and safe) to screw together pvc and metal?

If you can't find any PTFE (teflon is a brand name) thread seal tape, you arn't looking in the right place... heck, walmart has it!
