    That is exactly how I run my PU205P but I moved the moisture filter from the back of the machine to the wall since it blocked my CNC port when mounted on the machine.

    looks nice, courtjester! kudos for building brackets to support the traps, drives me nuts when people just let 'em hang.

    makes me wonder, though, if there's a reasonably affordable a/b/y valve that you could use in this situation. someone bumping the air valve open a crack while you're tigging would be a bad deal.


    edit: a pair of gas solenoids would be the expensive solution.

    I would have used the valve that Mrprism used but did not it existed, now I do Thanks to this forum.
    The problem with solenoids is now you have something the need power and they do leak too. Your right about bumping the valve.
    But I never make mistakes (right now about that bridge for sale)

    Anything can be "what if"-d to infinity... I prefer to work off of reasonable expectation and keep it simple.
