makes a great drinking straw. m

my advice is to not force an idea. it'll come to u and the hose will be ready in the back of ur closet waiting for u.
WHY PAY FOR IT WHEN U CAN MAKE IT?

You can't make anything without more fittings.

You're going to have to buy stuff.

The 1/2" pipe could be a barrel and the hose could be part of the pilot and the schrader could be the fill valve. But there's a lot more you need to buy.

Search the forum, this question has been asked many times over.
is a piston better than a sprinkler?
But I will answer your question very briefly, yes and no.

Again, this does not have a direct answer without a lot more variables.

You're pretty much asking me 'how long is a piece of string?'.
