You would need the manifold. None of the holes in the valve will be tapped to accept a fitting.

And ofr $20 it's not worth that much work, when you can get a brand new valve that's exactly what you want for $24.

That is what I was thinking. It wasn't so much the price that I was looking at. I looked on ebay and while the valves are fairly cheap, the shipping to Canada has gone up to over $50 for a single solenoid!!!

These guys had reasonable shipping via USPS, so that was my main goal.

I will keep looking!

Thanks!

this is a 2 way for $10.00 that will work without a manifold.

That would work for my application, but I would need to put in a bleeder valve, right? I will be using gravity to reset a double acting cylinder, so would the air be able to escape from the free port on the cylinder? IF that is the case, I would just get the 2 way valve.

Thanks

you need to put a 3 way tee between the valve and the cylinder. on the open end of the 3 way tee you need to put a bleeder valve of some sort. i've done all kinds of crap(like stuffing pieces of sponge into a piece of copper tubing at the end of the needle valve) to keep the hissing down. whatever works!

this place has a ton of stuff: Evilusions

I did look into Evilusions, but unfortunately they don't ship to Canada

I can ship to canada. I just try not too. If your on this forum I will of course take care of you.

Truth is I don't like shipping 1 $.62 fitting to canada. If your want a valve or something, no problem.

Hey, jrzmac, do you think it would help to run a small 1/4" I.D. air line 50 feet away from the valve to "exhaust" the air somewhere else? I can get this air hose for next to nothing at work.
