- I am thinking of putting an air solenoid valve in my compressor tank outlet. I already have a manual valve I open when I go out to the shop, and (usually) close when I leave. I valve the tank off bec

- The large solenoid valves with high flow rates are out there, but in my experience, not at all cheap. If you're feeling adventurous, you could add external actuation to a manual ball or butterfly val

- Another thought might be to wire it in through the light switch, along with a contactor to enable the compressor. I've got the contactor installed, but haven't run the line to the garage switches ye

- Good idea. I'll have to think about that, too. I missed those when I looked at the MMC catalog. Sometimes the catalog has so much stuff in it you miss what you're looking for. It looks like one of th

- McMaster doesn't list it, but solenoid valves (and solenoids in general) have a duty rating. A rating of "continuous duty" means they can have the coil energized continuously. I wouldn't be surprised

- So, how does a power failure close a latching valve? For the valve I looked at, the coil draws about 6 watts. That means, if I were to somehow turn pro and power this rig 8 hours a day, 5 days a wee

- I've seen your shop, Ed, it's much nicer than mine. Of course it's just a hobby for me, so that's appropriate. My previous compressor was inside my 'shop' (actually just a 2.5 car garage) and I got
