Man, such a bummer.. I found out that the fittings I used were DWV, and boy do I feel like an idiot. After taking careful consideration of what I bought, I some how bought those fittings. The lucky part is the fact the thing has over 50 shots and hasnt exploded.. yet, well, there is no yet.

I have done this, but note that if it has a pressure rating, your fine. Pipes have to have a (forgot what its called, a rating name or something). I have a 150 psi PVc blah blah DWV.

As long as the peice has a pressure rating on it somwhere its fine, also I have heard if it has PVC DWV its fine, Im no where near sure on that though.

Beebs, you don't have to for a pneumatic. Just don't go above 50 PSI. I know, what's the fun in that. I have a penumatic made out of DWV and I use it at 50 with no problems, since that's the pressure of a propane combustion.

If it's a hybrid, I don't wanna know why the hell you built it with DWV.

:lol:

Hehe, I was gonna say, hybrids aren't even safe for pressure rated pipe, let alone DWV. You'll be fine with that. Even with propane, I don't think you'll have any problems.

As long as you don't use oxygen, hydrogen, acetylene, etc etc.

Haha, thanks. Those other fuels I'll pass on. Generic $1 spray deodorant works like a charm.

Yea, I use the generic cheap stuff, and man. I was in for a surprise when I first did, it only took me 2 seconds of hair spray, it takes about 5 for the deoderant. Just random input.
