Re: Two Pistons, One Solenoid

yes, it is entirely possible. Use a T-splitter in your pneumatic tubing coming out of the solenoid to each of the pistons. To get them to fire the same time, make sure that the tubing if of equal length after the T-Splitter, or one will fill before the other. We use this a lot (and acutally twice this year!) for pistons that we want to fire at the same time.

In the future, send your treasurer a link of the exact thing you want. If they don't buy it off that link without asking you first, then they shouldn't be your treasurer.
