Either way, it would probably be best to saw off the ends and find a way to re-attach them in the proper direction.
Could you please post a picture of the valve/cannon so that we may be able to acces the situation better?

were you directing it to me? just kidding. Just hack off the pipe, attach a coupler, then do the same on the other side.nojoke510 wrote:Hi I just built my first pnematic cannon and I have a slight problem, I noticed put the sprinkler valve on backwards and have already cemented it in, will it work? Any advice?
ps- why didnt you just use teflon tape.

if you have a dremel to could cut both sides of the valve and sand off the pipe inside with the demel tool sander thing. this could be ticky and time consuming but would be the neatest looking of your opptions

It would take AGES to sand out pvc piping.
I'm sure someone posted a pipe removal tool that you stick in a drill to cut out pipe from a fitting... I'm going to look for it...

not only would it take forever, but it wouldn't be very consistant and it wouldn't be very safe, just do it the proper way and cut both parts, then add a coupler to both sides.

It cuts out the pipe inside the fitting or in this case the sprinkler.

i recon the best way would be to cut both sides but leave enough room for the bits on the valve to go properly into a coupler and then just turn it around and whack a coupler on both sides. it would be strong, and neat.
if you post up a pic it might help us out a bit aswell.
best of luck
