yes a sprinkler valve will work , as will a qev or if you like to make your own a piston valve would perform quite well.

Thank you,I'm sorry to come off as a jerk!its just i have been looking and looking for days and days and with all the info out there im greatly confused on it ,i went to spud tech and seen they have a nice one there with a piston valve.was not sure if that had to be on it or not or could i use my same set up with the sprinkler valve and all. and if i could just adapt co2 to it. thats all i was asking sorry for the drama early this morning. thanks you have been a big help

It's OK. Since you are looking for lots of information then I am going to move this to Pneumatic Discussion, where you will get better help.
