Solenoid valves

Hi. I want to connect a few (3) solenoid valves to my BS2. I am
getting relays to handle the voltage difference, but I can't seem to
find any solenoid valves to fit my application (a beverage
dispenser). The beverages are going to be under pressure, not more
than 20 psi, and when I push a button on the basic stamp, I want it
to be able to fill up a certain sized cup to the right amount
automatically. I already have the code, but I don't have the valves,
so could anyone tell me where I could get three of them for cheap?

Thanks

    I believe Skinner makes what you're loking for. "Skinner Valves" are
    all over the place. Grainger stocks a few.


    Good Luck

    Define cheap...

    Check out Grainger. If memory serves correctly you can buy a coil for
    about $20 and valve that the coils sits on top of for about $25.

    [font=arial,helvetica]You might want to try Industrial Plastic Valves (702) 883-6108, in Carson
    City, NV

    They have 12, 24 vdc and 120 vac, prices (list couple years old) were $20-40,
    depending on material (plastic, brass, stainless) and features.[/font]
