Re: Pneumatic Solenoids

We used the VexPro solenoids this year, two singles and a double. The manifold-based system did save a good bit of space over separate units.

In addition to using a modest amount of thread tape on fittings without washers, make sure that the tubing is cut perpendicular to the length. Beveled tubing cuts lost us a lot of air in our early years.
