Hey guys im gonna build a pnumatic soon and i was noticing that the shrader valve in this topic http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3573& is different than the shrader valve sold at www.mcmaster.com.
The one in the topic has a rubber end to it to keep it in and all the one that mcmaster has is a shrader valve with an NPT end to it. Are these too valves different is one safer than the other???

Threaded are the best because if they aren't they will blow out.

Hey, I'm just going off personal experiance, not trying to start anything.

Mmmhmm...
I'm using a presta valve cut out of a bicycles inner tube at 200psi and its not going anywhere.
Its clamped in a 1/4" compression fitting with a steel washer though, not just slotted in a hole.

Threaded valves are easier to put in, just drill a 3/8" hole, put the valve itself into your drill chuck and screw it in.
Rubber pull through valves always seal, because the pressure holds the valve against the inside of the pipe. I have had them at over 180 psi with no blowouts. They're easier to get, because you can just go to a bike shop and ask for all the popped tires, which they usually give you for free. Cut out the valve and pull it through a hole with pliers.
