Tom- Exactly what I am talking about. Im sure something like this comes in handy at times
Paul
I cant remember the physics. Is this a parallel circuit or a series circuit? Good tip.
You can make a very simply device yourself. You need 3 - 9volt batteries. Plug them together to create a 27 volt supply. Radio shack would have everything you need. I have one myself that I use to test solenoids and to actuate a valve in the field.
The only down side that I see is if the wire nuts are already on then they would need to be removed to make the connection.
Im sure there is something! That is a good idea! I will check with a heating and cooling supply house and get back to everyone.
I just thought such a device would be helpful
Just an idea but home furnace controls I think are 24v systems and (heating and cooling guys) they may have a devise that is capable of supplying 24 v to a valve maybe through alligator clips.
Never heard of such a thing.
Basically a device that would electronically activate a valve to turn on.
I was thinking that maybe a high end power multimeter that might supply the proper voltage would do
