Anyone want to sell a 2inch sprinkler valve

[8tonsemi]

If you have one of these two items and willing to sell, I might purchase one from you. I can not promise you that I will buy. I'm just looking at my options. Also I'm only buying through Paypal thats it. So if you have one of these items either PM me or leave a comment below and I'll tell you if I'm interested in buying your item.

Did you look on e bay? Search diaphragm valves, dust collector valves, and solenoid valves. Good luck...

[8tonsemi]

I have and I can't find any for some reason. I might just end up either buying 1 or 2 3/4 inch QEV's and put them on a gun.

I just looked on e bay searching solenoid valves and I seen a few, look better. I would post the link but dont know how to do it on my I phone.

Actual QEV's or solenoids?

[mattyzip77]

A solenoid valve and a qev are basically the same thing. Here is a link I found to one and a link to the valve I have.

This one has its own built in pilot valve on the top. Get a 1/4 inch ball valve, put a male quick connect on the end of it, screw it into the top of the valve, screw in a chamber on the side port, screw in a barrel on the exhaust port and bang, your done!! You will b putting golf balls into space!! Its that easy!!

Is it Better than a plastic one?

[mattyzip77]

Of course!! Make the guy a offer for 50 dollars on the last one I listed. Its worth a shot. I guarantee it will put a supah valve or mauler valve to shame, and you dont have to worry about it breaking. Good luck!!!

So to modify you just unscrew the plug on the top. No drilling involved. And thanks for all the help :lol http://www.ebay.com/itm/GOYEN-CONTROLS- ... 876wt_1205

also how bout this it has 3inch ports.

QEV is NOT a solenoid valve, but they both use a diaphragm/piston, but a QEV provides faster opening and higher flow (as the name "quick exhaust valve"). A solenoid valve has a relatively low flow, as it´s made to be actuated by electricity, but poor flow.

just highlight the link and copy and paste it here

It says it has 3 inch ports but they are definatly not. I seen this one too and my eyes lit up when I saw 3 inch. They are either 1 or 1 1/2 inch. Also I dont know how good this one would be under pressure due to those ports.

@wyz2285 I said basically the same thing, not the same thing.

@jsefcifk no, its not that easy.

[wyz2285]

basically the same thing

Not quite basic neither, depending the use of it and the design of the gun, it matters a lot. But apparently he just want a big valve for a low pressure cannon, so it may not matter that much as when you are looking for high performance.

I have a 2 inch modified brass solenoid valve ( not for sale though) wich has very high flow.
It has a piston in stead of a diaphram.

It opens as quick as a QEV.

The only real difference is that a QEV is built in a Tee and a solenoid valve is usually built inline.

most solenoid valves however provide less flow compared to a QEV and they tend to open a bit slower.

[wyz2285]

Fine, all my knowledge about solenoid valves come from research and posts from here, and all of them says that a QEV is better than a solenoid valve with the same size also a solenoid valve is chamber seal a QEV in the other hand is barrel seal. Personally never had one and never will, just thought better not confuse a newbie.
