My first compact T valve
Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2008 1:00 am
Finally got around to making the kind of T valve that has bolts/o-rings instead of a female adapter and plug and all that.
Specs:
1" tee
3/4" plug tapped with 1/4" NPT for pilot/fill
~14" long 1" chamber
~3ft .5" barrel
Pilot: 1/4" ball valve
Fill: schrader valve.
O-rings and teflon tape on all bolts to seal them
o-ring on the 3/4" plug
o-ringed piston
I'll have more detailed pics and a vid or two to come. Still gotta make a 200psi pump for this, a slide valve for the pilot, (maybe bolt action) and epoxy on a new sealing face as this one leaks ever so slightly.
