3/2 pneumatic valve help

rather stupidly, never thought of that! Cheers

If i wish to use a paintball tank as a buffer, what do people do for a fitment in place of the on/off valve or the pin valve? I'm thinking i could just drill the pin section out of a pin valve and use that?

The paintball tanks have a not uncommon thread in the neck, according to Woodies site 5/8-18UNF.
You can have the pin-valve or on/off valve replaced by an hydraulic coupling.
It's also possible to enlarge the tread to 3/8 or 1/2 bsp. but that means you'll need a recertification.

That's right use the pin valve and drill the internals out, the burst disc take it off and keep it as a spare, and the hole either blank it off or put a pressure gauge in.

For pneumatic fittings I use this ebay shop, he's got metal push fittings good for 15bar, much better than the plastic ones.
