I've noticed that most accumulators use solder, I was just wandering if that was absolutely needed, or if you could build a tank using a coper pipe with threading such as the one in this link. https://www.grainger.com/product/4D...yHV7vgN3hxJDW9pXrD4aAv_-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds If not, are there any cheap solder options?
You could build one with threaded pipe if you wanted to. Soldered is probably easier to size and lighter weight. A propane torch is like $20-$25, not exactly expensive, and has a number of uses in the hobby and life. But yeah threaded pipe would work if that's what you're set on doing
You really only need an accumulator for triples or duals in a battleship where there's some distance between the regular and the solenoids.
