confetti timer toy
(OP)
I'm working on a project at the moment to make a multi-use confetti-shooting timer which fits in the bottom of a salad bowl. I think I'm going to use a compressed gas can from a boat emergency horn along with some timers and an air solenoid, and maybe a 3d-printed enclosure / launcher nozzle. So far I've had good luck finding components.
One sticking point ... the compressed gas canister from the boat horn has an odd threaded valve on it, which I have managed to identify as a lindall B188. This seems to be commonly used with gas canisters for camping stoves too. I'd like to have a needle valve which threads/seals onto my canister and allows me to change out canisters & depressurize the solenoid supply when not in use.
Anyone know where I can source a valve like this?

If it's a one-off (as hinted by the 3D printer), then extract the parts from a sacrificial boat emergency horn.

The emergency horn doesn't have a fitting which will allow a hose connection, they all seem to go straight to a button/horn. I've bought one as a donor for a bottle.
In the interim I've cut the valve out of my own backpacking stove (I will reinstall it later I think) but I would like to have an additional valve to make both things "complete" items when it's done. I haven't looked for an old camp stove, but I suspect that if they're available w/working valve they'll be more expensive than I was hoping - I'd like to have this additional valve for around $10 if possible.
