On your name, did you mean to spell it with "raper" at the end? If you didn't, ask PCGUY to change it, I think this is one time where the reason is plenty good enough, that is if you miss-spelled it.
LOL I couldn't resist. I was wondering the same thing about the username
ok i have another question. i watched another youtube video at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=b4ZgXqiaySc
i was wondering if the QEV would be the same as the sprinkler valve.

PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH! Honestly man, we just told you all that, for you to not even bother searching again. That question has been answered numerous time on the forum.
ok on that vid i watched http://youtube.com/watch?v=b4ZgXqiaySc
i was wondering if anyone could tell me what the parts he used were. i sat on the cmptr for like 45min straight and only found 2 parts he used.. the O-Rings and the 2 pressure caps. if anyone can tell me what the tee was call and those parts he put inside the tee that would be sweeeeeet!!

He's pretty much making a piston valve. I didn't watch all of it, so he may of used a diaphragm instead of a piston.
Mate, telling you what parts are involved, wont do a thing. You have to know how to build it, understand what's going on.
SO PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH!
You have very little clue to what you are doing, so instead of asking how to build things, do some research so you actually have a clue what is going on. I've told you this twice already, just please do some research.
We aren't going to help you if you don't know what you are doing.
yeah im searching for what piston valve is but all i find is a whole bunch of people showing off there pneumatic guns... its kinda annoying. but ill keep searching so dont flame me anymore lol.

Are you trying to pilot a sprinkler valve or a piston valve? If the former, buy a blowgun (13$ for me). If you want to pilot a piston valve, a 3/4" sprinkler valve should do the job.(~10$) I use a blowgun on my 1" sprinkler, and it works very well. I have used the same 1" sprinkler valve (with blowgun) to pilot a piston valve, but I recently switched to a QEV (quick exhaust valve), available from McMaster, for 20$ and under (3/4" and less)
Yeah, we wouldn't want to anger the bees, now would we??
I HATE YOU BEES! I HATE YOU BEES! I HATE YOU BEES!
yeah i found a lot of quick exaust valves but they're for water and dont look like they would work for a tater cannon.sry i was looking on a different page.
this one would probably work.
but o well im just gunna mod a sprinkler valve hook a blowgun to and put it on my gun and call it good =)
