Water Hose Connector
When you unscrew the water hose connector off the pressure gauge, wrap some teflon onto the male brass coupler and screw the water
house connector onto it. Now you have the ability to safely water
pressure (hydro) test your cannon. If it ruptures while filled with
water, it will make a "ploomp" sound and pop open were the PVC pipe was
weak. If you air pressure test it and it ruptures, the PVC pipe will shatter
into many high speed projectiles! I have read horror stories of people
losing body parts when their cannon explodes! Water pressure
testing your air cannon is one of the easiest things to do. If I haven't used my air cannon in a while, I water pressure test it to make sure it
will still hold my safety zone of 105psi.
Tank Valve (Bike Pump) Connector
Take the female brass quick coupler from the 5PC brass quick coupler
package, wrap teflon around the 1/4"x1/8" bushing and screw it in tight.
Wrap teflon around one of the 1/8" tank valves and screw it into the 1/8" bushing. Congratulations, you now have the ability to
inflate you air cannon with a standing bike pump or something else that is portable.
