Hey I was wondering if I could use my two-way (the one with 5 holes) solenoid valve from the 2011 KOP to control 2 cylinders, one needs to move both back and forth, and the other is a one time use. How would I hook it up to do this? Or would I have to fork off from my compressor and use two different solenoid valves? (But then what’s the point of a two-way one)
Im sorry for posting this here but it’s urgent!
Unless you get fittings on all 5 holes in the valve you’ll need 2 and even I’m not sure if it will work that way. We are using 2, maybe even 3 valves here.
You can have one solenoid drive more than one cylinder.
However, the cylinders will all move together at the same time.
The solenoid that came in the Kit has two outputs, usually for one end of a cylinder and the other end of the same cylinder.
- (2) output ports
- (2) exhaust ports
