Re: Vacuum

[quote=Rickertsen2]But since one way valves arn't really legal either, you can use a double solenoid in place of one, as long as you know when the cylinder is extending and retracting.[quote]

Actually, the flow restrictors in the pneumatics kit only restrict flow in one direction (the direction with the small arrow). Therefore, if you tighten it all the way down, it functions as a one-way valve.
