where can i buy these items? (non-car related)

[Spektrewing386]

What I need to buy is a small push button valve, non-exhausting, 2-ports (in-out) for cheap. I cant find anyplace online that doesnt sell without a 'quote' from a salesperson. It is going into a random project of mine and its gay that hardware stores dont sell these. so anyone know of anyplace that I can get one? online or in atlanta?

Also after I finish the project above I will be building a little $35 pulse-jet which will make about 6 lbs of thrust just for fun. Where can I buy pieces of metal rods, angle metal, metal conduit, exhaust tubing, large thin metal tubes...that sorta stuff?

Try a Paintball shop for that valve. Looks somewhat like what my sponsors used to fill their tanks. difference is that yours is a button, and his was a turning valve.

[Spektrewing386]

big internal difference from the turning valve to this. home depot has the turning ones. no one ever has push buttons

[jmmx258]

I understand that. But I"m saying try checking a paintball shop. MIght be a good place to get a good resource.

hmmm I think the push button wont hold high PSI...it might but then wouldnt it be very hard to push the button due to the force behind it?

Where did you get the picture from ?

[Annihilation]

Found it....Just call them and order it from them...I dont c you finding it local anyways...your jus gonna have a 3-4day delay ...week at the most...I dont see what the big deal is to order it from someone....

Only other thing i could think of that you might be able to use depending on working PSI

dunno if that will help but you could take off the nozzle and use the valve body itself

hrmm...could use one of those push button valves for a propane injector on a potato cannon :D

[Spektrewing386]

reps to Annihilation for that, thanks.


BTW, the valve im using now is straight up air compressor trigger thing, but im going for a more professional look this time.
