We also use tube from automation direct (both 1/4" for typical runs and 5/32" tubing for runs that require a smaller bend radius)

We also use a myriad of push to connect fittings from Automation Direct

Automation Direct is one of our go-to suppliers, we probably spend $300-$500 on Automation Direct products annually.

3. I'll PM you address.

Thanks!

1. We could save approximately 1 pound by removing all of the brass on our antequated pneumatic setup...

2. We have been using these for our prototype shooter- high Cv solenoids that are super cheap compared to others we've used in the past. More air, MORE POWER!
