I was wondering if anyone knew of a source for small solenoid valves?
The size would be 1/8" barbed tube connections, used with liquids and operate on 12 or 24VDC and not cost arm and a leg.

    A quick Google search using "small solenoid valves" (leave the quotes in) produced lots of hits.
    The first on I found that looked good was

    fins.actwin.com/aquatic-plants/month.9805/msg00320.html

    No doubt there are others.

    May I ask what you are going to do with this/these?

    Thanks but the source at Marlin P. Jones has dried up. I found a manufacture but they might turn out to be a little too pricey for the project budget. I'm looking for them for a friend's project. He wants to be able to control small bursts of water with a PIC type controller.

    This is the type of valve that we had in mind:
    Solenoid valve from Jameco.com
    They have both RoHS and non-RoHS compliant types. Now to find out if they'll handle fluids.
