Look on ebay for some 12volt air solenoid valves, I found ours rated at 215 psi and 3/4 npt threads. Fast open and close and no leaking. Cost was about $30 each.

Magical stuff, just be sure it is the length you want before you install. Look up local industrial suppliers or use the where to buy link on Parkers site. I used to work at the Brass Products Division in Otsego, MI. They are very friendly to FIRST teams and we get donations from time to time. Might be worth a kindly written email or a phone call to the proper division.

A 3/4 is good but our team really wanted a one inch. The school district is not allowing us to use CO2 Canisters of any type, they are already edgy on us making a tshirt cannon robot. I've having a lot of trouble finding a high pressure solenoid, so should we settle with a 3/4"?

Once again, thanks everyone for the feedback, but i need to identify a list of objects (Tank,Hose,Solenoid,Barrel) which could be all be strung together and put on a robot. we have 20 new members waiting on the design group to finish the model for this bot.

Thanks!
