Well I am planning on making a new cannon and I was wondering if I need to use a pipe tap to attach things? Like the schrader valve or the pressure gauge? Would it really be bad to just manually screw it in?

I Extremly sugeusst you use the tap. Especially if the fittings are 1/8". There is no perfect size for it.

What size pipe would fit snugly over or very near over SCH 40 1.5 inch PVC pipe?

Well, this whole idea came to me when I thought of a way to vent it fast. It dosn't have individualy charged cartages, just a regular chamber.
