Eh, what's the pressure rating like on it though. Will it hold like a solder?

Made out of justforcopper?

You must be mistaken, it's like a superglue that only bonds copper and copper alloys, you'd never be able to make a solid mass of it.

Anyway it's rated to 500psi, it is a hard glue so you should not be planning on flexing the joint at all once it's set - which is about 5 seconds to grip and about 1min to fully set.

He probably meant only justforcopper was used for joining the pipe.

I win again, I'll be accepting your official statement of complete and utter sumbission to my will now.

you could do that, yes, but you would have to take it off to exhaust. if you really want to do that then have the schrader valve in a tee and then the tee to to the blow gun, that way it can still exhaust without you taking it off.

by the way, that is almost pointless, it would be way better to simply put the schrader valve next to the blowgun rather than on it......

well then attach a tee to the blow gun, then put the schrader valve on one side and you will have an exhaust valve on the other.

you could simply use a 1/4'' ball valve with a quick release for a compressor, that works an my 1/2'' and my 2'' valves.
