2012 Legal Solenoid Valves

[Jim Wilks]

I'm looking to get a couple of solenoid valves for this year's robot. I see that the rules say:

Solenoid valves with a maximum ⅛” NPT port diameter, and a maximum Cv of 0.32 (if non-KOP valves are used, the team will be required to provide part documentation validating that the valves meet these constraints).

As well, there are constraints on center-off options not being allowed.

Finally, we are limited to 12V or 24V coils only.

Looking at manufacturer's catalogs, compliance with these rules is not as easily done as I might like as the choices are many and the details complicated.

What do I buy? Can we just boil this down to a (hopefully short) list of manufacturer's part numbers which are FRC-legal?

Or do I just buy the Andy-Mark am-0888 and call it done?

Any and all suggestions appreciated.
