I am building a cannon with twin 3' by 4" chambers. I wanted to use twin 2 in Mauler Valves. My question is should my tee combining the chambers be 2 inch or bigger. Also, the valves are connecting to the chambers and elbowing up the tee. I was thinking 2" elbows as well? Any input would be great.
Thanks

I wanted to use a golfball barrel and a 2.5" barrel.
So your configuration is two 4"x36" chambers, both connected to mauler valves. The mauler valves are then connected by a tee, which then is connected to the barrel.
If this is true, use a 3" tee to connect the two mauler valves. It will insure that no flow is lost, and will not have too much dead space either.
To connect the chambers to the mauler valves, 2" elbows will be fine

It depends on the barrel length and pressure.
But if you use enough of both, you'll get a crapload of power from the twin valves.

Novacastrian: How about use whatever the heck you can get your hands on?

...I'm sorry, but that made my year.

if you put on a six foot barrel and pump it to 120psi, dont expect to find the golf balls your shooting out if it

Don't use Bondo slugs, they don't hold together very well at high speeds. I hear ice works nicely.
