piston valve port

[Lockednloaded]

For a piston valve I am working on, for the port, I basically want to use a tap to remove the stop from a bushing. By doing this, I would be able to thread a nipple far enough into the bushing that I could use it in a tee valve.

Before I get any alternative suggestions, the valve needs to be adjusted, so this is the perfect option for me. I want to know if the modification to the bushing will severely compromise its integrity (it will be taking a whole lot of pressure). Also, I've been looking for a fully-threaded nipple, but I haven't found anything that would work. I'm talking about one where the threads don't change directions

I hope you understand what I'm saying, a diagram may come later if no one gets what I'm talking about

thats perfect patto, all I need is to find a 3/8" one on mcmaster. what search terms would you reccomend? all thread takes me to close nipples

[Patto]

i just googled " All Thread Nipples" but it's probably easy to search by images.. the only thing is when i had a good look around everyone wants mass orders (1000 min etc)

EDIT: here you go man

I've seen them used in piston valves on this site, it was a poly-pipe nipple, I'll look into that first

:EDIT:
patto, you can't direct link to mcmaster, what was the product number?

[Patto]

Yeah Django use 1 on his Pitbull 9mmtoo

[Lockednloaded]

would I be able to screw a standard nipple into the back? or am I mixing up my lefts and rights again?

[Patto]

sorry man cant help you there, but in the search box type " brass" and select " brass pipe fittings" then select "nipple" then " fully threaded"

part no of one of the ones i saw was #917GK113

Good luck

In my marble pnumatic I used a standard nipple on the inside of the bushing and a ball valve on the other side. It served as a guide tunnel for my piston rod.

I took it to 300psi while only using half the threads.
