Water solenoid din connector experience?

[mjwalsh]

Does anybody know where to buy 18 mm din connectors for an Asco valve? I bought four 1/2" S series Asco valves that have an oddball connection. It says Z134A on the solenoid label along with Asco P/N 8238S404-24. I was told & sold to by a car wash distributor that 88122403 is the proper din connector. That connector works on some of the "S" series Asco Valves but not the ones that I got.

Are these connectors something that can be gotten at most local electric wholesalers? Asco on their site refers to all their din connections as standard.

Mine has the dimensions of Const Ref 4 shown on page 3 of the following document.

It appears that a standard hardware or automotive .250 female quick disconnect will work because its shape accommodates the 2 curls. We will find out. I am somewhat shocked that even Asco tech support didn't know or chose to not share that information. An experiencd local electrical wholesaler city desk person gave me the "heads up". In some cases, using the din would be better though.
