Thanks guys! I appreciate the all the positive feedback. One thing I'll point out is that if I ever did this again, I think I'd use a can of PVC primer, instead of cement. It would be much easier to clean the can. There's actually a rubber bladder inside the Oatey brand can, but it tears when you try to remove it, so you end up having to clean the cement off the inside anyway.
TA, while you have a point about the fittings, here's why I chose not to go that route: http://www.roversnorth.com/store/p-1...-defender.aspx
The PO had already bought a brand new, early style cylinder. Also, I suffer from a bad case of impatience, and being one of the cheapest people you've ever met. Not a good combo. I spent about 6 bucks on this, and it took be about a half hour to complete (including plumbing it).
As for the unions and leaks...well...let's just say I flare a mean hydraulic pipe end.
