Just curious.

I'm trying to find a 12VDC solenoid valve with 1/8" NPT female ports.

I've found some online, but they want $10 shipping for a $29 valve!!

Any ideas?

The local industrial supply places can get them, but I'd have to order it.

BTW-- how can I buy things from Grainger without being a business??

Thanks.

Cant help on the valves but Grainger I have bought things from them in the past. As far as business they have never required any doco from me regarding a real business. Just tell them you are Hohns Auto Repair. Or just tell them you work for the USAF and you need some parts for a project. If you are buying online I cant remember what they needed as far as info but I dont think it was much. Just the normal name, addess, contact person etc. They might want to know your fein # but your ssn number should work fine for that since you are a sole proprietor, right.

When I dealt with Grainger in SLC I ordered over the phone and told them will call and had no problems. That was 6-7 years ago maybe diff. now

You could try some one who sells gravel boxes-trailers for a valve I used one for my air horn.It is used to unlach the tail gate. We have a store up here called princess auto that was air valves but that does you no good. Best of luck in finding what you need.

Hobbs Wastegate conversions?

What is it? You flip a switch to block the wastegate?

It uses a pressure switch to open at a predetermined boost, then pops open to open the waste gate. Turbo spools faster, since the WG doesnt gradually open.

$39 ($29 + $10) isn't a bad price for a 12 volt solenoid valve. I've nerver found a real good price on them when I've looked. You might try a propane supply house as they usually stock valves with 1/8th pipe threads.

I don't see a place to buy....

I already have the Hobbs switch-- I need a solenoid valve.


I could always use a Nitrous solenoid, but that's a waste of money and way overkill.

Would an air horn solenoid be the same? If so Hadley or Grover. I saw some on e-bay also.

HOHN

I dunno about the same, but it should work... I don't need something that flows that much though, since the valve would be deadheaded against the WG diaphragm.
