New to spudfiles and working on a golf ball cannon. In the process and I now understand just how annoying it can be to find the right parts because most of the time they are highly uncommon. So I figured I'd post this part because any other metal piston valve seat I've seen has been either a hose fitting ~3/4", or soldered, welded or uses some kind of methods most people done have access to.
After visiting several industrial suppliers I was directed to a place that sells oil tanks, parts and accessories. They told me it was called a "double tapped bushing", and not having the correct size (2" x 1 1/2" x 1 1/2") had to order one in. It cost me only 15 bucks and is absolutely perfect for a 2" piston valve cannon.
I only have one pic of it because my picture files are too large for some reason (couldn't find a fix for this on the site) so if anyone could let me know about that it would be great. Will post much more progress stuff if I can solve that.
As you can see I already threaded in the seat (1 1/2" nipple)

Nice find! Care to name the supplier, lots of Canadians on the forum
You can open the pictures with Microsoft Paint and resize them.I only have one pic of it because my picture files are too large for some reason (couldn't find a fix for this on the site) so if anyone could let me know about that it would be great.

I've just been using my phone and cropping them to size forgot to mention. I figured that would be the case though, thanks!
The place was called Value Sales ltd. but it was really really small and has no website unfortunately. I did find the part on other websites but with shipping it would have been like 40+ bucks
