you can buy stuff from Clippard Distributors, this valve has been used lots of time on spudfiles.

edit: it goes for about $30+ shipping

The first one is the only 3 way valve their :/

Edit: Does mcmaster ship to Australia or are there any other international place that ship to Australia that sell 3 way valves?
Strange because the diagram on the third one shows 3 ports yet the seller states it's only a 2-way. Maybe he just used the wrong picture.

Maybe but as you push it down that hole would get blocked off.

Also if i used 3 way valve on QEV would it make semi auto?

If you had a magazine and constant air source; I believe yes, it would.

Can some tell me if i can exhaust 3/8" QEV through a 1/8” 3 way valve?

Im planing on using this QEV: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/G3-8-Pipe-Pn ... 459wt_1139

And this 3 way valve: http://www.clippard.com/store/display_d ... sku=MJVO-3#

Im planing on using this for a home-made paint ball gun and will the 3 way valve have enough power to exhaust the QEV
