Who is that directed to...? I cannot find who in the last year posted anything saying they didn't know what the supah valve is all about.

Wow, I can't even believe this stuff is still on here...

Unfortunately this cannon has been dismantled as the valve took a dump and the gun heat cycled in the basement of my friends house for quite a while. Needless to say I didn't feel like risking a failure so it is now permanently dismantled.

Thanks for all of the compliments though...this thing was a blast.

haet cycling pvc wont hurt it unless it pressureized. HOLY SHIT THE SUPAH VALVE TOOK A DUMP!!! You should call Joel about that im sure he would be very interested in what caused it to fail and probably fix it too. what exactly is wrong with the valve anyways?

I'd have to take a look at it again, I believe there was an alignment rod in there that had come out after there had been some sealing issues. Nothing I would blame on Joel's design, this thing had went through a ton of fires, It can probably be fixed I just don't have the time to deal with it right now. A few other things that I didn't like the gun were that there are some DWV fittings in it and that tee that connects to the supah gets some serious bending loads when firing.
