1 Solenoid two Pistons

Any help on this question. We want to run one two very small piston to actuate an arm and was wondering if you can use one solenoid to actuate two pistons? I have looked through the rules and couldn't find anything against it but I could be missing something. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Re: 1 Solenoid two Pistons

Legal. We did this two years ago. Just take output of solenoid to a y-fitting.
