""Do you have a shot of the 3 Way valve?""

Camera indisposed at the moment and this thing is already buried, won't make a good pic anyway.

The valve is about 3-3/4" long and 1-1/2" around, the body is stainless with 3ct 1/4" female pipe outlets. The solenoid portion is a blue phenolic material, however the valve portion (moving parts) that the solenoid activates is fully internal.This is what makes this thing superior, it has no external seals to wear out and leak. The solenoid portion is clockable so the wire outlet can be pointed any direction.

The wiring is very simple (dependable), just power and ground. It only has two positions. In the on position it diverts to one side and in the off position it diverts to the other. It only pulls 1.5 amps in the on position and has 14ga wires with a weatherpack connector, which is serious overkill, 20ga would be adequate at 1.5amps, so I doubt there's going to be any problem with heat or fire.

A very clean and bulletproof looking unit. The only thing it doesn't have that the Andir does is provisions for mounting. I made a bracket out of billet aluminum.
