Well after purchasing another 1 just like it, I had the same effect

At first a little worried about the flow restriction; re-phrase that A LOT WORRIED. I applied 24 volts on the solenoid and could hear and feel the solenoid engaging. Having no experience with a electrically operated water valve I assumed it to be in the open position, but yet I could hardly blow through the valve. Well after purchasing another 1 just like it, I had the same effect, Would not open enough to even count. To make this story shorter I made a little 3/4" adapter for a water hose hook-up and with the pressure it seems to open fully, kinda like when applying the operating voltage to the solenoid you just unlock the valve, after that a small amount of water pressure will open the valve fully. By saying fully I am going by a container I used. It took 17 seconds to fill the container using the solenoid valve and when I took it off and ran through just a straight hose my timing was still 17 seconds. I needed the second one I bought just to try out the first one about a week later on a ground coupled heat pump. So far no problems from either one.

Works as expected. Well built

bought this to make an air powered rocket launcher for the kids and I to play with. Works great. Tested it up to 60 PSI and held just fine, although we usually run it around 20 psi. After close to 500 launches, it's still holding up well.

As Described

Old one failed after many years and thanks to the wonderful website i was able to order a new one and have it in 2 days.

Works exactly as advertised.

A fine piece of manufacturing. Easily modified for use as a quick-release valve for backyard ballistics project.

just what I was looking for

Arrived on time and was just what I was looking for.

Works well

Quick delivery worked as described

Works with compressed air

Using it for a air cannon holding up fine at 150 psi
