threded schrader valves in oz

[The Kid]

yeah i went to bridgestone and they sold threaded ones thanks thursto

hahaha i didnt pay for mine i got 2 of em for free

Owell at least you gt one, how much did you pay for one?

i didn't pay for mine either, i didn't mean to write that well thanks again for your help

[Thursto]

Hahaha lolthats ok, it sucks because ive been making a few pneumatics, and i use tire valves on heaps of them, and i need 2 more and i cant go to the same place everytime but all the other places make me pay for them

[Rogue]

hey if i just use a rubber one, can i use pvc glue to glue it place?



thanks,
roguE

[Thursto]

Hey, well if its a brand new rubber one, and has the big buldgy bit, then no you dont need to glue it, simply drill the right size hole, use your muscles and pull it in, and it should pop into place. But if your using a rubberone of a bike tire then yes make it a tight fit and then i'd suggest use some arildite, not PVC glue.

[Rogue]

ok will normal epoxy work??

[spudgunnerwryyyyy]

Yes, it will work just apply liberally.

[Thursto]

Yes, it will work just apply liberally.

Yeah pretty much what spudgunnerwryyyyy said, but i'd suggest if your take it to high pressures use super strength araildite or epoxy.

[Rogue]

only like 120 psi MAX

[spudgunnerwryyyyy]

Nah you could take an epoxied in shrader valve way higher. jsr has done it safely up to 300psi

[DYI]

jsr has done it safely up to 300psi

How can you tell that it was safe? In my opinion, if you don't hydrostatically test a pressure vessel to at least twice its working pressure, you can't say if it's safe or not.

i got mine for free too from tires plus. i asked if he had any valve stems and he braught out a few and i asked how much for the threaded one and he said just take it. I dont think they technically sell them so there isnt a set price.

[Thursto]

Yeah although there isnt a set price they might just say ooh $3 if they are stinge bags, Jks. But yeah they might. It suckes though because i build of a fair pneumatics i cant keep going to the same tire shop and asking for more, might raise a few alarms.

[avlaxmidi09]

haha ya i know what you mean, my friend and i were like wow im surprised he didnt say uhhhh......a dollar.
