I know that there will be people here who will call me an absolute tit and tell me to look at the how-to section but so far I have and I hasn't really helped me.

Can someone please explain in great detail how to make a 1/2 inch self-closing piston valve?

I'm completely lost.

You haven't looked in the how to section..I found this in around 10 seconds.

yeah im just a little special and does it get any easier than that???

There's nothing difficult about that piston... they're all store bought parts screwed together in a certain way... it's about on the same difficulty as making somthing out of lego...

Only hard part might be troubleshooting it if it doesn't work.

ok but knowing me ill stuff it up somehow

If you do, then you try again and then again until you get it. That's how you develop skills and confidence.

Perhaps a lock is in order now that he has what he needs? Just to avoid any flaming.

Welcome to the forums, you'll learn a lot here.

take a 1.25'' tee, solvent weld a 1.25'' to .5'' bushing in it, glue on a female adapter on the other end, mold a piston with a sealing face (bolt on the sealing face) put a good bumper in it, then put a threaded male end cap on the end, then thread a nipple into the end, then screw on a ball valve and put a quick connect valve on the end of the ball valve so you can hook it up to a compressor (assuming you have one) and you have yourself a nice piston valve.



now, this information is useless to you unless you know how to solvent weld, use a tap and die, and mold a piston. like you said... do some research.

when i built my first piston valve, i didn't completely understand how they worked, but i followed the instructions and followed what others had done and it worked. after i built it, i understood how it worked. please dont ask to be spoon fed anymore...

edit- dang, im pretty good. my instructions are pretty much the same as the ones in that post. ( i didnt read it before i wrote this.) isnt that kinda funny? it really is easy.
