Another note we determined this weekend about this style device is that the main fluid flow is through the needle adjustable valve and not so much through the solenoid.. my first thought when I first seen one of these was the main fluid flow was through the solenoid mostly but that is not the case. The fluid flow is through the needle adjustable valve mainly and the solenoid is more like secondary in a sense. Obviously when the solenoid is activated only the fluid will run through the adjustable needle valve. This was interesting to learn it flows more opposite of what I initially thought. This solenoid only allows about a 1/16 or so diameter of fluid flow and combined with the needle adjustable valve flow you obtain combined a equivalent to about 3/16 which is what a 1/4 hardline ID is. Helps big time knowing this when planning out your plumbing game plan.
