As in if I thread it into a female portion those two will be permanently fused?
No. It's permanent in that it's "make once" - it won't seal a joint that's repeatedly assembled and disassembled.

Ahh I see. So if I were to assemble and then disassemble the joint what should I do to reseal it? Can ...

There are tons of products out there. I just use Araldite :) of course it's only good for permanent joins, as are these sealants.

Wait so is the sealant that came on my threads permanent? As in if I thread it ...

Can you tell what kind of thread sealant? Also why isn't it on both sides?

I bought this check valve online a few days ago and the threads had this red pre-applied goop on the threads. I asked the seller what it is but they haven't replied, so I'm assuming that they don't know.

My guess is that it is some kind of thread sealant? It is hardened but the mating threads can ...

Why don't you want a gauge?

You can always remove it and blank the port off.

There are some pretty funky 600 psi shock pumps out there these days...

Never tried them personally though.

I already ...

I want to mount a shock pump onto my "pneumatic accelerator" but all of the ones that I find have a gauge on them.

Do you guys know of any good shock pumps that don't have a pressure gauge?

Or if there is some alternative I would like to hear it.
I would build one myself but I fear that I could ...

What is the name of the specific valve located inside of the blow gun attachments for pneumatic systems?

And the search function was not working so if this question already has an answer on this site sorry for re-asking!


Thanks!

Did a good search did you? Checked the how to section did you? Posted in the wrong section did you?

Sure you did. :roll:

Kinda hard on the guy?? :roll:

Not really there are a few how to's about making pumps this guy clearly didn't search at all.

I did do a search and I couldn't find anything.

what section do I post this in then? I couldn't find it in the forum rules.

I've seen threads about people making homemade high pressure pumps and I want to make one as well. The only problem that I'm having is that I have no idea where I can find a piston pump head that could use a floating O-ring with and could be screwed onto a long threaded rod.

Any help?

I'm planning on buying a shock pump for my new QEV/Slide valve combo.
Hopefully I can find one with a long draw.
Does anybody have any recommendations?


I was considering making a homemade pump but it seemed like it would be too hard to get the perfect seal and such.

Actually, does this look good?

Damn I am asking a lot of questions.

Anybody know where to get slide valves so that I can make this thing semi auto?

shock pump its just like a normal pump but with a small surface area piston so you can get high pressure. only good for small chambers, under 50ml really.

i would look at getting a fridge compressor, I hit 900psi with my one.

you can use Paintball Quick Disconnect for a fill valve.

Thank you for all the replies!

The reason for me using a large volume tank, and for wanting to use a solenoid valve was that I was planning on messing with semi-auto features.

I realize now that that is not possible now because solenoid valves take a time to actually work.

For instance, I was ...
