I am in dire need of a source of solenoid valves. I posted a request a short time ago and didn't get any response so I thought I would try one more time. I apologize for the repetition. I would prefer DC controlled valves for household water pressures but I will go with an AC valve/relay combination if necessary. If anyone can point me in the right direction and/or give me names and numbers of sources please send me email at rogerska%esvax@dupont.com . If anyone else is interested let me know and I will forward anything info I receive. Thanks in advance, Allen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allen Rogers | "You must not take life too seriously rogerska%esvax@dupont.co | or you will never get out of it alive."

Visit your local hardware store and ask directions to the section where they sell automatic sprinkler systems for lawn and garden. I recall there are several companies who sell controllers and the valves they control. Even more vaguely (I installed such a system, but I turn mine on/off manually because I'm a cheapskate!) I recall the valves cost about $20 each and probably run on the no-special- wiring-necessary voltage which is under 50 volts. --Myron. -- #------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Myron A.

Try W. W. Grainger. They sell motors, pumps, fans, all kinds of industrial supplies, including SOLENOID VALVES! Main office is in Chicago, with warehouses throughout the Free World.

The local Sears or Monkey-Wards store should have a parts counter. You might have to get a model number from an appliance which is currently being sold in the store (easy). Occaisionally, some hardware stores have them. Be aware, though, that the flow rates are not very high.

These systems will often have more than what you want (timer, etc.). I have seen several of the valves like you want at home on our heater/air conditioner - it's a ground-water type. So, try a heating/cooling place... --kyler
