i have some made from pvc and the last one i made is a raquetball in a water filter housing, but you have to machine a cone shaped seat where the little nipple is that the filter fits over, i simply chucked it up in the lathe and but a cone shape inside the head so the ball is sure to roll up to the center and seal off

I use a water filter housing as a moisture trap, and it works great when it seals properly. Sometimes, though, it'll seat off-center because it floats around inside of the housing. Has anyone built a cage for the ball to set in so it stays centered under outlet?

I use a water filter housing with a racquet ball as well. I like it, simple and effective. The only thing I'd make sure to do different is spend the extra 5 bucks and get a clear water filter. I didn't and got an opaque one, so I have to take it apart to see if its full of sap.
