Thanks a bunch, I will see what I come up with. I read in another thread that i think you posted about epoxying the nuts for no air leaks. would lock nuts stop the air flow or no?

On the bolt piston though. Will it make a difference if its stainless or not? Lock nuts I assume. 1/4 20 a good thickness? Time to go through the how to section on bolt pistons, or if you have a link. Thanks for the info, more info i have the better my build become.

Ok so the goal here is to have a tight fit on the piston, but not super tight. enough for ease of movement. I know i saw somewhere on here about using a dowel rod and sand paper to polish the inside. Guess back to the drawing board. Sucks not having a garage to work on this stuff.

Will this work?

I was given a K Rain sprinkler valve the other day. It is 1 inch, and I was wondering if it would work? To me it is diffrent than a water master valve. I just want to make sure before I use this one.

Fittings

I may have gotten the wrong ones for making my new chamber. They all saw NSF-DWV. So is this safe or unsafe. These are Genova fittings by the way. I just went to the local hardware store. The plumbing store is closed on the weekends. So will lowes have the right ones?
