Thread: Cheap Pneumatic Valves?

Tweet

Anyone know of a good place to get cheap but good quality pneumatic valves?

I need to beef up my pneumatic valve inventory. Where should I shop?

I prefer cheap, 1/4" 3-way versions. I'm tired of ice-maker valves.

I have found Monsterguts has about the best prices Prop Pneumatics - Air Valves for Props - 3 Way Direct Acting Solenoid - Halloween Prop Building Supplies For The Home Haunter - Monster Guts

I found all of mine on ebay. I got several of them for dirt cheap. Like 6 for $10 plus shipping. In fact, I bet if I look I have several left over.

I try to keep my valves as cheap aas possible so that they are affordable.

ebay.

Search for MAC valves and look for auctions for more than just one valve. I scored a lot of four valves for cheap last year. I'm stocked for a few seasons now.

You'll need to decipher their model numbers, but you can get spec sheets from the manufacturer sites, and figure out what the numbers mean.

But watch for orifice size.

I won a few and then found that the orifice was 1/16" so I have to crank up the prssure to get the same volum a larger orifice gives at lower pressures.

If you are still looking, I recently unpacked my HW stuff and can see what valves I still have on hand.
