Can anyone help me choose the fittings or a PVC tee piston for a 3/4 or barrel? I was thinking many a 1 inch tee and a reducing bushing for the barrel side but the pilot side is hat I can't figure out

Search in the Wiki and go to your supplier and physically match the parts up, it's one of the best ways to figure it out, hands on! Also, the how-to section here has great information about building piston valves in tee's.

I've tried going to the store but they don't really like you back there much cause people steal like $300 a month in copper. Thanks for the advice though

Does this sound right so far? 3/4 cpvc barrel, bushing to 1.25" tee small length of 1.25" pipe, cleanout, then cleanout cap with holes for fill/ pilot?I would like to you a 3/4 endcap for a piston

Cleanout caps in general are unrated. Ensure all of your parts are pressure rated.

lets see if i can help you
3/4 barrel -- 3/4 to 1.25 bushing -- 1.25 tee-- to 1.25 pipe ( short for piston to travle in ) --- 1.25 to 1/4 inch bushing-- 1/4 tee with fill valve of some kind and a ball valve
no clue if that makes any sence

That makes sense but then you couldn't service the piston. Is it even posible with PVC?
