Its different but the same, lol, you say potatoe, I say pohhtato kinda thing,,I have sided a few times unfortunatly but Im a framer not a sider.
Go Bruins!!!!
Delrin might be a good idea. UHMW stuff scares me. Too soft for me to machine.
I probably won't, but why ABS?

ABS (the solid-core variety) really is a superior cannon building plastic compared to PVC. It's more impact and temperature resistant. If you could get your hands on some pressure rated fittings you could make a much more durable valve.
But since you don't sell them anymore, why not focus on the Blue Flame IV or your next hybrid?![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.png)

Hi Guys. I am trying to visualize the mauler valve variant. Does any one have a diagram of it? It sounds like what I am building, but I'm not sure if that's what you call it.
A mauler valve is pretty much like this valve http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/the-sta ... 10049.html
Except the mauler valve's piston is made out of a solid PVC rod machined on a metal lathe, with a built in check valve and machined parts that fit flush in the tee.

True. I wouldn't want to "rely" on o-ring seals if I couldn't make them (EX. in my garage with a dremel). I'm a CNC machinist (not operator). I'll make 'em all day. Can anyone tell how long a barrel seal with a washer can hold a charge?mark.f wrote:
A barrel sealer will open faster in a smaller package, I don't see much merit in a chamber sealing Mauler. It would open slower or be bulkier and rely more heavily on the piston seals.
