Q:I need to find a solenoid valve with the following specifications:2-way, 1 inch nozzles (both male)needs to be able to handle the pressure from a CO2 tank (~1000 psi)needs to work with 12vdc less than 10 ampsits either a solenoid, or some other type of valve which will release the CO2 when we tell it to electronically

The leading maker of solenoid valves is ASCO. Their website is shown below. If a valve that fits your application exists they probably make one. If you can't find a suitable solenoid then you need to consider a pneumatic valve operated by a solenoid valve. That is a common solution for a problem like yours. As to the male connections. If they are not available then you can just use a pair of threaded fittings (pipe nipples) to change the configuration.

Q:I am trying to remove my supply valve behind my toilet to replace but the valve wont come off. I am using a cresent wrench to turn it and it turns but does not unscrew. How can I remove this piece?

If you have copper pipe behind this valve. you may be twisting the pipe. You must support the pipe while removing the valve. Good luck.

Q:I went look at a car, and the guy selling the car said that the engine valve is leaking. Is this a big deal? How urgent would it need to be fixed? How much would that cost?

well my guess would be u have a bad valve. just go to auto zone checkers pet boys anywhere and just get a new vavle...

Q:We have an ejector in the basement for an in-law apartment. When the check valve kicks in, it can wake us up from a sound sleep. A very loud thunking. Any ideas?

the check valve would be installed just outside of the crock vertically. The noise I doubt is from the check valve itself. I'd guess it is the pump shutting off and the pipe isn't fastened securely, so it bangs. Check to make sure that the run of pipe leaving the crock is fastened securely. if this is the case the only other option I oculd think of would be to re-position the check valve on a horizontal run of pipe as close to the crock as possible. Most check valves I have seen for ejectors are compression type, it will be messy but not to complicated. Keep a bucket handy, when you crack open that check valve you may need it. Flush the toilet until the pump kicks on a few times, this should clear out most of the nasty stuff. You may also need a short piece of 2 pipe and some couplings to make up for the space of the check valve. If you can hear the water flowing out when the pump kicks on and don't hear it draining back into the crock when it shuts off, the check valve is probably still good.

Q:i have a 1991 rm125 and i want to open the power valves myself can anyone tell me how to do thisTHANKS!

remove the carb abd intake manifold, they are inbetween the intake and reed cage. you will have to rejet .

Q:i need exhaust valves material dimensinons of any car.

Most valves are made of forged steel. The dimensions depend on what car. You can get a factory manual for any car. Call a motor shop to order them. Don't try to make them yourself.

Q:One of my valves leaks a small amount of water through the valve and into the water line. why would it leak and what do i have to do to fix it. the valve is a rain jet valve. i would like to fix it without having to remove it from the valve box. inside the valve box there are 8 valves and they are glued in and i dont want to have to remove all of the valves and box.

It depends on the type of leak. I recently had a leak (mea culpa four-pronged fork) and I was able to fix it by mounting an original hose clamp around it. If it is big you can use more than one hose clamp and perhaps a sheet of rubber or a part of the original hose in combination.

Q:I need to replace my egr valve on my 98 Ford Taurus station wagon, and was wondering where is it located and how tough is it to replace?

And use the engine treatment called Sea Foam. Your throttle body is full of crud from the egr, it gums up the inside of the throttle body and will lead to gummed up egr valve which it has. Best to give a good clean out while you are at it. You can return your egr valve if you have the receipt. With all this info you should be good to go., Hope it helps.

Q:the pressure relief valve on the top of the tank needs replaced

Turn the inlet off , turn the gas off or electric, drain the tank by connecting a garden hose to the drain valve remove the pressure valve and install a new one.. Remove the hose close the drain open the pressure valve turn on the water open all of the faucets in the house to allow all of the air out of your system have some one watching the sinks it could make a mess, relight the pilot light or turn the electric back on. Remember to use a little teflon tape on the threads of the pressure valve.
