I was digging around and found that the brand valves used is mac valves. The valves are 24volts solenoid valves. You can buy a substitute for these valves here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/24V-DC-1-2-Electric-Solenoid-Valve-Water-Air-N-C-/290640872182?hash=item43ab8bc2f6:m:mPOqWxweHWROYLpPcIINwEQ I use similar valves for my stage fire machines. Do note I do not know the diameter of the hosing or connectors used so if you are trying to swap it you might need adaptors. Make sure to put teflon tape around your threads to get rid of air leaks! *wrapping it around in the opposite direction of the way the object is threaded on* Sorry my bad.. linked the wrong thing. That solenoid valve would be used if air only needed to go one direction.. Here you need this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141141816140?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It offers a way to switch and thus allows the air to escape too. man I should really sleep before I type.. You wind teflon tape the same direction as you screw on the thread. Else the teflon tape loosens once you try to put it on. Edited by masterpj, May 29 2016, 02:23 AM.
