NICE WORK

ok so 1st off it cost almost nothing cuz most of it i had in my shop i had to buy the qev, 1/4'' ball valve,and the brass fittings so about $35.00

- i got a new 150 psi blow gun for it that i modifyed

- as for the barrel being sch 80 i had 10ft in the shop so its nice not to drop $10 if you dont have to

- i think (Da Pneu Kid) is going to buy my extra qev for $15.00 plus shipping but if anyone will pay more its yours or ill trade for a cam-lock

use the wiki, young skywalker.

QEVs tend to get more expensive the bigger you go, impractical for a 2" barrel. It would be cheaper to buy a ready made Mauler valve or mod a 2" sprinkler valve, and even cheaper to make your own piston valve.

Thats a qev (quick exhaust valve). its just a air pilot diaphram valve.
