I want one
Whats a valve cap? LOL

Price is a factor
I agree price is a factor.
(Can't think of a funny pole joke)
If in the $20-30 range, yes.
Yes in the 20-30 price range
I want 1 (and 2 depending on final appearance). Looks like you have enough interest already. Hope for some more
Just a question....I am not trying to kill a project....Could they be made small enough to fit completely inside the front valve section? I was thinking that it could be built similar to a screw in reg with the oring going in first, etc?
this sounds interesting but im not sure I understand the concept.....as in you would replace the charger section of the valve with a cap?
So the you would have to control your velocity with a in line reg, Correct?
put me down for 1 bro!
Could it be made to still use the original side port instead of the typical end port? I don't wish to have anymore macro hanging out than I need.
I was going for an airstar Nova appearance.
OK guys I'm in. I will have them done in about 3 weeks.
1st side of the prototype is done. Just need to turn the back side and tap for the burst disc. Thinking i might do a little ball end milling kinda like the front of a flatline 4500.
Has anyone found a good deal on 1.8K burst discs?
I think it would be cool looking like the field strip screw. Knarled and curved. Small as possible.
Are you going to leave the inside solid? Drill and tap the hole all the way through?
Deus hollowed his out, but think it would be better left solid. Just my 2 cents. I am in for 1 and maybe 2 pending final price and appearance.
Thanks for pulling through for us again XMT! Next, an aluminum classic valve body (precapped or not).
I'm more partial to smooth personally. Not sure if the hollowing out is necessary or not. Would think solid would allow for a thinner cap though.
I like smooth as well, but then you need to find a way to remove it without damage. I didn't care for the holes drilled in the side to stick something for leverage. Deus' were extremely light being hollowed out, but honestly it felt weak and cheap.
A thinner cap is my vote. Flush with the back is my ideal setup (Thats currently available)
Since theres going to be a burst disk somewhere in there, is it still going to be possible to put a gauge coming straight off the back of the cap?
So with the right regulator and a RT on/off installed, would a capped classic valve go reactive?

What pressure does the inline reg need to output at for this setup to work well? Any possibility of having an SLP tank reg and eliminate double regulation altogether?

You can use whatever regulation device you want as long as it's adjustable to control your velocity and high-flowing enough that it won't starve the marker.

Has anyone tried to force shoot down with high rate of fire with this setup? My only issue is a concern of velocity drop starving the valve. Since now we are dropping input pressure farther away from the dump chamber. May not happen till 12 or 15 bps. Idk. Just a curiosity of mine.
The 350-375 psi for a Level 7 and 500-550 psi for a Level 10 are average chamber pressures required to reach typical field velocities. Athomas goes on to state what the inputs should be for each bolt system to maintain good flow. So your external reg needs to regulate to the numbers above depending on bolt system, and the pressure supplied to your external reg needs to be higher. The numbers athomas gave are based on the integral valve regulator, so the input to your choice of external reg may be different based on its flow rate.
Even with these seemingly high numbers, the ball only sees around 80psi, I believe, by the time all the firing sequence actions take place.
