I have seen some setups with solenoid valves. Where is the best place to get these, and what works the best?
Thanks,

I have the 24VDC stainless version for my water side. It was not from this vendor. But, the valve actuator get very hot if I leave it energized for 20 -30 minutes. It gets hot enough that I'm sure it will fail eventually. So, make sure that this is not a problem with whichever valve you choose. Luck - Dwain
Cape Brewing would these ebay solenoids be good for propane?

I have nine 1-inch versions of these in my rig that control everything and I really like them....

If you are thinking about trying these, make sure you email the seller and tell him you want the viton seals (food and temp safe) and also tell him you want the 120 volt (unless you truly want the 12V)... both requests are free and he's a super nice guy. I ordered a couple at a time and they all showed up very quickly.
The full 1 inch valves ran me about $45 each i think. Just because you don't see them in his "store" on Ebay doesn't be he doesn't have them... he's got 'em. i would just email him if you're interested.
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but would these be OK for use in a brew system?

Not sure if these are good deals, or if I should keep looking?
I can't tell you whether or not those particular valves are suitable for your application, but I can tell you that the Valves for Projects people are reputable. I use one of their valves and it's been working flawlessly on my system. Their customer service and tech support is excellent. Give them a call or email them and ask for their recommendations. I did that and they pointed me to the best valve and they responded very quickly. I'm a very satisfied customer.
