Last post was in 2009
But yeah, it's a 3/2 solenoid valve (working here in the normally open position).
It has parts filled and is in-cased in epoxy resin which prevents leaking.
I was going to have a another go at this with a similar design this winter but that never really happened.
The main problem I have encountered with using these solenoid valves is the low flow for re-filling the chamber after the shot (piloting is fine).

Well..This design was ahead of it's time so no wonder it gets bumped.
Now that the subject has been brought up....PLEASE do another one of these!!
