Re: Solenoid question..

You know I have never tried that.

Think of a solenoid as a switch. If you would like to switch between two different pressures then it might work. Using it to combine pressures wouldn't.

The only problem would be that these are pilot operated so there would have sufficient pressure maintained on the output side for the solenoid to work. Also if the difference in pressure is to high it might not work either.

Give it a shot and see but I have my doubts it will work. It may be easier to use two different solenoids to switch from one pressure to another.
