SFR solenoid

Hey guys.

I had SFR siphoning from a bay. The diaphragm is shot. Can someone steer me toward a replacement? Ignore my hideous thumbnail. I smashed it about 3 weeks ago…forgot how bad that hurt

This one works, you have to use a reducing nipple and a 1/8" NPT fitting on the outlet. Rated 250 PSI M.O.P.D.


These are much better, full 3/8" pipe flow.

That's the one I think I use.

keep all the plumbing as large as possible. It makes a noticeable difference in the flow. I bought a wash that has a purclean RO system and the flow was pathetic at 200psi at the pump. I intended to replace the pump with higher pressure, etc, but found when I changed to the large orifice solenoids and 3/8" fittings (instead of the 1/4"x 3/8" fittings)fittings the flow dramatically improved, enough where a new pump was no longer needed.
 
I use the 1/8" KIP solenoids with a Procon set at 250 PSI, but the bigger GC valves at about 170 PSI gives about the same thing in the bay.
