On my co2 tank the fittings on the pin valve are 1/2inch. Why would you want to take the pin valve off?
Forever dreaming...

He is using it as a chamber.
The pin valve would kill the flow.

He's taking the pin valve OFF and then screwing a pipe fitting into the tank neck. That wouldn't kill flow.

I had planned on someday building a hybrid chamber like this, except I was going to use a 20 oz. tank or one of those huge 4,500 PSI HPA tanks.

mark is right im screwing it into the neck of the bottle.
Tho it seems a bit odd to have a co2 bottle in a lowes.
