Re: HELP: Internal Solenoid Leaks Killed Us!
We are talking about the plastic festo valve included in the kit of parts since 2004. Its only got 4 ports, a pressure, NO, NC, and exhaust. This limits its creative uses by creative exhausting, and we also have found that in the FIRST environment, they tend to work for a short time, and then leak. It does not appear to be an issue with the compression fittings, but I will agree that these are a common source of air leaks in a system, especially when the lines are not cut square.
