if you can find a source for HP solenoid valves for $100 you'd be considered a "God" by many.

The best number I've seen on solenoid valves for HP (5,000 psi service) use is right around $500! Thus, the suggestion to use a pilot valve arrangement instead.

Mine is a pilot valve. It was one of the presure oporated valves that I had to replace not the solonoid valve.

Still would like the source - I found the one, but its a "boss-style" mounting, and while that can be made to work, its a PITA to make up the adapter unless you happen to have a metal lathe and a drill press handy.

My thoughts exactly when I opened the link! It would be nice to have a NPT valve.

I may have to call that company and see if they have an NPT version of that.

The valve is an Aqua Environment 907 unloader. They are $50 if they will sell them direct or they are $100 from Sub Aquatics 8855 E. Broad St Reynoldsberg, OH 43068. I don't have a phone number handy but they should be on the net.

I have to crawl under the compressor to see what the solonoid valve is but if your interested that'll have to wait til tomarrow. I'm beat and if I'm crawling under anything tonight it isn't goint to be that compressor. LOL
