We would be most grateful if you do.
Thanks

If you are refering to a 3-position, center-off valve, be careful with considering this valve in the future, the GDC has prohibited them in the past when used in their normal mode. The valve is capable (in fact likely) of being powered down in the center off position, leaving pressure in the system after power down, which is prohibited. If used in combination with some other valves that guarantee pressure relief everywhere on shudown, it might be allowed.
