I fill my sprinkler valve from the pilot on my golfball gun, havent had a problem yet. Or maybe I have cursed the valve by filling it wrong?



I bought a ASCO 2 Way Main Pulse Valve :D. Thanks for the link Cwazy1!

Yeah once again thanks Cwazy1! I'm not sure I really have a use for one let alone two cuz loud booms echo around here. I'll prolly make myself a BFG2; as if the (3.) 1" Orbits weren't enough on the first one. Or I might make a tennis ball cannon. I need a source of PW pipe above 2" around here now lol, that way I don't have 30lbs of 2" parts in a manifold. :twisted: I have a valveless propane tank in the other room :twisted: 2.0 upgrades to 2.1 with a new bung welded on. Don't mind me I'm thinking aloud, check the "best shot on vid" thread to see what I'm talking about. http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/competi ... rt,15.html

Side Note: Dewey and I burried the hatchet I threw. Sorry about earlier man!

Hey Crowley,
I'm sure if you talked to someone here they could buy a valve and ship it to you. It would cost more for shipping, obviously, but you'd still be getting a good deal.

Or you could try and talk the guy into sending you one. It might work.

Any pilot valve that I can think of CAN be filled from the pilot, but that doesn't mean it should be filled from the pilot.

If you are filling sprinkler valve from the pilot then you are using a low flow air source, waiting for it to fill, or you enlarged the equalization hole which can decrease performance.

I just fill with a schrader, pilot with blowgun. There was a white thing plugging the equalization hole so I took it out.

That's what LMC might be doing, if it doesn't work out with him, I may ask someone else.

Hmm, I'd love one or two of those, but aside from the fact I'm outside the US, if I'm entirely honest, I'm not sure I could use one anyway, I don't have the space to use a sizeable pneumatic, and knowing me, I'd want to put 300 psi into it...
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?
