This valve will work but you will need to mod it off to the side leaveing the guide rod in. i tryed takeing teh guide rod out and moding it there. Then my diapragm wouldnt reset.

are you going to modify it? if so ill give you a link.

although yours has a guide rod so you will need to mod it to the side.

Correct. :)

Try looking for an Orbit or RainBird valve. They don't have any guide rods. (They look cooler in my opinion too)


Good luck with your cannon.
