Field Video

NOTE: PVC is not recommended by the manufacturer for use with compressed gasses due to potential fragmentation if it is broken while containing pressure.

This launcher operates considerably below the rated working pressures of the PVC materials for an extra margin of safety. The pipe and fittings are rated at 200 psi or greater in this design.
