Thought so, you would have to take the same precautions on a regular QEV? Because I fill up mine full blast, it honks a little, but seals lke a charm. You use the same for your QEV, spudshot?

I had the same prob. take out the air fitting the goes into the plastic of the sprinkler valve then put lots of tape on it and screw it in onlyto the thickness of the plastic should fix it

I've never built a pneumatic with a valve and was wondering if one like this http://www.rainbird.com/images/products ... v_1_bg.jpg would work? I know basically what im looking for, but some are just designed to make me question.

Ive never had a sprinkler valve not work. As long as its a sprinkler valve it will work. The only thing you need to watch out for when modding it is if there is a guide rod and if there is just simply drill your tap hole to the side of the guide rod.
