doesn't have to be neoprene it can be rubber, did you super glue it or what?
For the pilot valve, you dont need that quarter inch pipe nipple and the coupling, you can take both of them off the and just keep the quarter inch ball valve.
Look in hardware and you can find neoprene washers, just take a small screw and a small washer and bolt it on, and it will stay on.

The neoprene washers will be in the "specialty screw drawers" section...oh at Lowe's, I don't remember any at Home Depot.LikimysCrotchus5 wrote:For the pilot valve, you dont need that quarter inch pipe nipple and the coupling, you can take both of them off the and just keep the quarter inch ball valve.

The problem was the hot glue, hot glue doesn't bond, you should have super glued
yea washers should be in where starman said, they are usually in drawers.

it didn,t break it just got messed up by the pressure, since it wasn't properly bonded to the piston.

It leaked only after it popped, I will try it tommorow, if it breaks again I will just use rubber. Since I already casted the piston.elitesniper wrote:should be, if not bolt it, yea that happed with my first piston valve, except the whole sealing face shot out of the barrel cause I only hot glued the sealing face on, I now bolt it on with a washer, did yours leak?
