That is not correct. This would be EXTREMELY dangerous, as the solenoid is only rated to 150 PSI (I believe).
We have one tank at ~3000 psi and the "accumulator" tank at ~150 PSI.
We can sort of adjust distance by changing the time the solenoid is open for.
We got the valve from MAC. I would say that this isn't such a specialized application that the exact valve we used needs to be used.
I would encourage teams wanting to create something similar to research what's out there. We picked the valve we used for a number of reasons, safety being the primary concern. Even if the exact part number does not exist anymore there are countless functionally identical valves out there.
