wow, looks tuff. Is that a 3" cylinder? Hope you got a pump to run it and keep decent cycle times. I then hope you have a motor to turn the pump.

I hbave an 18 gallon res. to use, the valves, well................... I have two set now, one set has 5/8" port openings (thread size). The other set, I have never seen anything like them before!!!!!!!!!!! 1 1/2 feed 7/8" ports. Methinks that is overkill, but the others seem a little small?

looks like you have a 2 spool and a single spool.The single appears to be a running as some type of priority off the 2 spool. Take it to the car wash LOL

Ok, car wash and the reseal kit I have for the twin spool, that I can split for a single, but which do I use? Oversize? Or questionable?
