Re: Venturi Pump legality

Compressed air (needed to create the vacuum) must be provided by a single ~1 cfm compressor. Would that generate enough vacuum to do what you wanted to do with it? Since you can only use 1/8" NPT solenoid valves, you can't store air unless you're using a lot less air than I'm expecting you to need, or use a lot of solenoid valves which means a lot of venturi vacuums since you can't plumb the outputs together.
