Re: Placing a Tank after a solenoid valve

Rich,
It was a general, thinking out loud, post. It is nice to know you were thinking along the same lines when the system was designed.

Re: Placing a Tank after a solenoid valve

What types of tubing can we use? Can we use copper piping for our entire system if we want?

Also how do I post a new thread?

Last question first: Click the big purple square in the top left of each page. Scroll down to the subforum you think is most appropriate, click it, and click the "new post" at the top of the page.


Now. The rules question.

First answer: Did you read the Manual? Your first question is answered quite clearly by R77E--and your second question will be answered by reading the rest of R77.

Yes, but it only says functionally the same. Stiff copper would function the same as the tubing without the flexibility.

If you think the manual is ambiguous, that's when you ask on Q&A. Chief Delphi is not Q&A.

That said, I question your desire to use copper tubing. Copper is heavy. I'm happy to use the plastic tubing provided in the KOP, since it weighs next to nothing.

Re: Placing a Tank after a solenoid valve

Marty,
What Eric pointed you to is this...
E. Additional pneumatic tubing, with a maximum 0.160 in. inside diameter, functionally equivalent to that provided in the KOP
