Re: PMEUMATICS

Empty Dry powder extinguishers can be used ...or any bottle that has a suitable pressure rating .
Finding fittings to fit the bottle neck can be a pain.

Something like this .... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-FIRE-EXTINGUI ... 4153445551

I'm fairly confident that the actual threaded port is 1/8 BSP.

BTW It's a 40mm stroke

Theo ...
These sort of questions arises ALL the time in the early build of newbies.

The problem is your lack of understanding and the difficulty in transfering knowledge 2 you via this medium.

So I'll try once again.

I connect pneumatic ports together with nylon/plastic tube.
The nylon tube pushes into a fitting that is screwed into the port/s of the various components.
These fittings are available with many combinations of threads and push in tube sizes.

I'd recommend 6mm nylon tube.

So your push fittings will be 1/8 bsp thread + 6mm tube for the ebay cylinder and 1/4 bsp thread + 6mm tube for the ebay valve.

Everything will then be connected together with 6mm tube.

So ...You'll want fittings that suit your port thread size and nylon tube size.

Pic shows 1/8 bsp + 6mm push fit into cylinder then 6mm tube into a 1/4 bsp push fit.
