First Fatty w/ Piston

[nolaman]

What are the sizes of your pipes and fittings to make the piston?

Thanks, for noticing....2" pipe x 8" long,1" pipe x 9" long. I found this a little long. I'll probably cut the 1" down, re-glue a couple more fittings on the end. Along as the total length of the piston w/ fittings is 8" or little more, it will push the stuffing out. When you glue the second fitting on hold down 10-15 seconds or so. The compressed air inside may try to push the cap off. The fittings are 2-1 1/4" caps, and 2- 1 1/4 "x 1" bushings. You can use smaller size pipe for the piston rod, but all the other size bushings have slots around them that could trap food in it. Also, look for caps that are less rounded. Lasco fittings from Lowes are less rounded than the ones at Homer D. Hope this info helps.Enjoy!
