Howdy y’all,
Do any of you have a source to get the solenoid armature tubes that screw into the manifold block? I’m not sure what the real name is to search for. Solenoid tube? Solenoid enclosure? Solenoid armature enclosure? Where I live we would call it a solenoid armature tube, I think.

If it's corrosive, you need to use this one with stainless stems or you'll be replacing them every few years. I have no idea why the bother to put a stainless block on there, and then use brass plunger stems. Over time corrosive detergents will erode the threads and they will pop off, spewing chemical everywhere. IN addition, the coil nut often seizes on the shaft, making disassembly very difficult

You can buy a new manifold from Dultmeier for not a whole lot more than the individual repair kits and coils cost. Last time I checked Kleen Rite does not sell the manifold blocks with stainless plunger housings, just the brass one.

I've been replacing some solenoid blocks with Kip solenoids with adjusting valves. They cost the same as the rebuild kits, plus about $3 per bay in brass.
