but the problem was that i couldnt get it to fill past 10 or 15 psi and thats how i knew something was wrong at all. i think also the diaphram was not sealing all the way down after it was opened. i cant remmeber that was a couple months ago. i gave up with that sprinkler valve because after taking ...

fill the top of the valve in addition to the comp tank? or do you mean fill both from the top of the valve? Is that even pissible? Im hoping the new phram theyre sending me works cause building your own is seeming to become more and more complicaed.

[quote="sanaka"]Thanks again for getting back noname. How do you craft your eq hole? Just poking a hole with a pin, the hole is like invisible. Or is like a 1/16" drilled hole better? The eq hole in my phram is whats giving me issuses if you read back a few posts. It is about 1/16 of an inch mayb a ...

ok, thanks il try that tomorrow its kinda late. Orbit is also mailing me a replacement phram, they said that the pinhole should not be there so im hoping the replacement comes soon and does not have a hole in the same spot. If it does and the epoxy doesnt work.... time for some super moding

So you think the hole is too big where the air would just rather leak out there and out the blow gun instead of pushing up the diaphram and out the other side, right? If that is the case think i might try doing the further mod where you make your own phram. And are there instructions for a coaxial d...

haha ya i know what you mean, my friend and i were like wow im surprised he didnt say uhhhh......a dollar.

I know air comes out the blow gun cause i can feel it when i put my finger in front of it as i hold the gun open. The valve is attached to the chamer when i test it. But i take it off when i check it or open it up.

My "normal" modded sprinkler valve also just lets all the air escape out of the blowgun when i squeeze it, why? I do plan to do this further modof my valve but i have a few questions. Does the new diaphram need an equalization hole in it? Do i need to mod the blow gun also or is it just an even bett...

i got mine for free too from tires plus. i asked if he had any valve stems and he braught out a few and i asked how much for the threaded one and he said just take it. I dont think they technically sell them so there isnt a set price.

So i have an Orbit water master one inch U shaped sprinkler valve. It has an adjuster knob/shaft thing tha just changes how high the diaphram is able to go up. I tried using the solenoid but it was slow so i modded it. I took off the adjuster shaft and knob, and screwed a brass double threaded nippl...
