Modding A Sprinkler Valve
Here's the kind you use right?
<a href="http://www.sprinklerwarehouse.com/detail.aspx?ID=916"> 1" Rainbird 1" FIPSxFIPS Jar Top </a>
and most people don't use RainBirds because they're known to leak...
I don't understand where you could get 8 threads, if you really can I might start using those, can you take a picture?
And a "vapor cloud" at 40 psi doesn't mean anything, it depends on the tempature the elevation and the humidity, i've made them at 20psi or less before...

what would be the reason for using a 3/4" over a 1"? For that matter should you just make a 2" or 3" piston type valve instead? It seems that a 1" valve on a cannon with a 3" chamber doesnt make much sense since it bottle necks the pressure but then releases it back to typically a 2" barrel.
some people(like me 3 months ago) are too stupid to make a piston valve, thus-they go for a sprinlker
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08
I have a problem exactly like everyone else's.
I bought a Rain Bird cp-100 valve. I didn't put the threaded adapter in the exact middle. I still put it on top just off to the side. Then everything was going fine but when I tried to test it, the air just leaked out. I put it in the right direction but it still leaks. What do I do?
EDIT: it was a 1" cp-100 valve

It release's pressure on top of teh diaphram(sp?) and causes it to open.Tyro wrote:Hi i'm new to this and have a question that might be very basic for you guys.
How does the blowgun Trigger the Sprinkler valve?
I believe there is a animation floating around somewhere.
Basically the blowgun replaces the solenoid.
