1/4" anyone have one like this?

[turner]

anyone have experience with this qev in 1/4"? I was wondering if it could fill from the chamber side. it would look so much cleaner.

[MrCrowley]

I'm guessing no, but you could modify it to fill from chamber side. Play around with a few springs and the equalization hole until you get it working.

[psycix]

Unmodified you can't. Heat up a needle and poke a tiny hole, add a spring behind the piston and you will be able. However, don't fill it too fast, of course.

you could use a slide check valve or any other 3 way valve instead...

[Brian the brain]

I have modded the exact same size QEV using the exact same method Psy said.


So yes.
No problem.

[turner]

cool thanks guys

so the pilot threads should be 1/4 in also right?

[turner]

so can anyone help me out which ones the chamber, pilot, and barrel? this thing has no markings

[POLAND_SPUD]

the perpendicular port is chamber
the one with a screw in cap is pilot side and the opposite is the barrel

[turner]

are you sure? theres black seal agains the screw caps port

[POLAND_SPUD]

yes... that's where the piston is

[psycix]

Poland is right.
On the picture above: the top is the pilot, the side is the chamber and the bottom where it stands on is the barrel.
