thanks VERY much. this is all I needed! the solenoid works now, albiet oddly... currently I'm using it to control the exhaust of a double solenoid which controls a 2" bore cylender (for multi positioning purposes). the input of air from the exhaust enters port #1, and I put a plug in port #2 (a t-bracket fed back on itself) the exhaust is blocked when the solenoid is OFF, not ON, which bugs me in case it fails. anyway, so my first instict was to plug port #4 (next to port #2) because air flows out of it when the solenoid is switched, however that does not block the exhaust at all when I do that. is it possible that I need to plug port #3 as well? and is port #3 the exhaust port?
