i am currently working on a paintball rpg first made by WOW!! http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/basic-rpg-t6521.html
i am going to make some better adjustments to it i need a cheap 1" sprinkler off spudtech at 13.99$ is that cheapest?
also i am going to have a push button sprinkler pilot
the question is i wanted to hook up a tee run a schrader valve in one a brass nipple to fit my hand then the push button all connected to the sprinkler but someone said if i did that it would fill v e r y s l o w l y so i want to put it in a spot where it is easy to get to but i do not want to machine it directly into the air tank.
any ideas?

Whoa there man... slow down and please use grammer.

$14 for a 1 incher is really good actually. I'm not so sure about shipping though.

Pushbuttons have been used before. They are rather effective actually.

As to your question... I cant understand what you are asking. (due to the lack of grammer as stated above.)

Yeah, could you retype your post?

I managed to get out of that you don't want to fill from the sprinkler valve pilot and you don't want to fill from the chamber.

Just drill a hole in 2 layers of PVC and tap it into the chamber. Not hard.

And unless you can get an old/second hand sprinkler valve gort's price wouldn't be very easy to beat.

With a suitably sized tap.
t be airtight to 150 psi?
With teflon/PTFE tape or pipe dope.

instead of tapping the hole just find fittings. i used threaded fittings for my last cannon so i didn't have to tap into the chamber.
