This one has a CV of 1.0 with a 1/8 npt port, Which is 3 or 4 times larger than the SMC / Festo valves you can get from AndyMark or Vex. We haven't used them though, so don't consider this an endorsement:

FRC558 will endorse them, they are currently running well on our machine.

Cool. Do you have the actual manufacturer and model number then? It would be nice to look up the original spec sheet.

We use the Nitra AVS 3211-24d solenoids from Automation Direct.

These are 24v with a Cv of .78. We use these on 10" Bimba 1.5" bore cylinders and have been really happy with them.
Plus we used the product voucher from FIRST... Even if you do not use the voucher they are about 21.00 each.

Good luck
