holla if ya got some or know where to get them
thanks

use a dumps or slowdown valves

 

[Skuce2]

Have a set of Normal-open dumps right at the base of each accum. line.

 

[cceregalboy]

can they handle the pressure?
that is on the pressure side of the pump
holla

 

[Skuce2]

Dumps already handle the pressure of a full cylinder.

I used italians for awhile as shutoffs on my car, but had problems with the normally open ones leaking. I switched to ball type valves and they work great. DONT use slowdown valves, they are a pain in the ass to sit there cranking 4 of em open and shut. With a ball valve its just a quick flip of the handle from open to close and they are much more convienent IMO.

Yea the ball type "shut-off" valves would work best. One turn off one turn on. Easiest and cheapest way. But if you only had slowdowns available to you it would work too.

most "slowdows" are brass, and really are not rated to handle that kind of pressure!

it would probably be allright, but i would get steel valves to be safe.

 

[Skuce2]

Yeah...either normal-open dumps or a high pressure rated ball valve would do the trick

 

[Hydros]

You can use the Parker MV slowdowns, the adjustment is like full open with one turn.

Also they are rated at like 5,000 PSI, Use a Delta three valve and pump it so the fluid is always flowing (like it was NO) then when you hit the switch, the port to the accumulator is then shut off and the valve opens.
