The tubing is 4130 steel, 1.125 O.D., .083 wall, .957 I.D.
The threads are 1″-20 .

Can you read AutoCad 2000 files?
I got a drawing.

The thread choice is not ideal.
The endplugs are sealed with “O” rings.
The “O” rings drag over the internal 1″-20 threads when you screw the end plug in. Theres potental for “O” ring damage, but it works.

If I get a long enough screw, I dont need the Ca glue at all.
For this valve, I ran out of long, fully threaded, 6-32 screws, and used a non fully threaded screw. The threads will be enough to hold the seat in place.

CA glue is just common “Super Glue”.

I had my hand on the tank through out the whole incident.
A person cant hold his hand…Read more

I have checked both CF tanks for oil. They both smell good.
Discharged half of the tank onto a white piece of paper, and got no oil.

Yes, I use CA glue as a threadlocker between the delrin and the 6-32 screw.
Also, it was reglued the day before the incident. or was it the morning of the incident, I cant remember?
I have always used CA glue…Read more

That makes a lotta sense.
If the first shot after the Hopps #9 cleaning, could have blown back oil into the valve stem area. It could happen if the valve closed before the bullet exited the bore. Then pressure in the barrel pushes air & oil backwards and exits in the clearence between the valve stem and the valve body.
Then that oil…Read more

I wonder how much it takes??
If I assembled the valve with oily hands, would that be enough to initiate the fire????

quote :Resin (Delrin) seats and Nylatron stem thrust seals MUST NOT BE USED IN OXYGEN SERVICE. All Habonim Oxygen Service Valves …

Delrin must not be used!!!!

I just blew out half of the exact same CF tank I was filling from, unto the white paper.
Cant see any oil.

I’am gonna try lighting up some of that delren, and see how it burns.
