i need a 1 inch 3 way sleeve valve and the only ones i see go up to 1/2

i am making this

Build one!

how? I dont know what to even start with

What did they say when you phoned a pneumatics supplier?

Find a pneumatic place, or build one..

Look up Clide's semi before you ask how, it used a sleeve valve to fill/pilot the piston..and no, not the GB semi.

the one on the revosemi looks manufactured and i and i have looked at many online pneumatic suppliers

and clides looks a little advanced for me
i would just like to find one online but its truning out to be a challenge

or is his 1/2? i dont think so though he is using 1 inch pipe

its still within a day so i can double post to bump it back up. so i am still not finding it on google i live in the middle of nowhere so i deffinately dont have any hardware stores that have one. but i am going to omaha this week would i be able to find a 1 inch sleeve valve there? omaha,Nebraska i live in ainsworth nebraska google it it's small

Have you asked the creator of the RevoSemi where he got his from? PM him or something.

i have but he must not be on these days

Instead of searching for sleeve valves, search for pneumatic suppliers websites, then search their products. And like UKSGC said before, try ringing a few stores, or even emailing.

If that doesn't work, make one. Only option.

ok fine i guess ill make one but will somebody help me understand how to make one? i will make it out of steel and i need it to seal up to 150-200 psi is it just a tube with a exhaust and a sleev over it? if its like that then i dont know if it will work because i will have a constant flow of air and all my air in the chamber will run out before the sprinkler gets piloted


il just ask do you think 1/2 will work ok i doubt it because it is so small though

First off, you ain't gonna get 150 - 200 psi from a standard sprinkler valve. The pressure will be 120 max.

Next, to fire a 1" sprinkler valve, a 1/2" anything will do. A 1/4" anything will do.

As far as sleeve valves go, those things are pretty easy to make. Technically, this breech loader is a sleeve valve. Duplicate that to make it work for you.

oh yea i forgot about the sprinkler so then how will i make a sleeve be ok to 100 psi

Hang on and I'll draw up a quick diagram. I'll edit this post when done.

alright thank you then i need to find out what he hooked to the slide valve that rotated the track thingamajig that rotates the disk

it cant be ekactly like that because look how he is using it in this

http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/revosemi-t7694.html

and his is a flow and an exhaust

damn! i would just love it if i could just find one like his
