Suction Cup Help.

I searched the whole forum, but still am confused.

I did a quick test of the suction cup today. I hooked it up to the Festo solenoid, and then began to charge the tanks. However, all the air was leaking through the hole in the top of the little red piece on the suction cup end.

This also meant that air was passing through the solenoid, which it shouldn't even be doing anyway.

Can someone please simply explain how to hook up the suction cup to the Festo solenoid and make this thing, well, suck, and suck remotely.

Thanks.
