i saw this valve on http://www.trademe.co.nz and its $5 and was wondering if i could use it on a pneumatic?i cant see a solenoid so im not sure if you can mod it or what type of valve it is but if i can use it,it will save me $30.
its also metal so maybe it could hold around 200psi which will be useful on a copper cannon.

Is that knob-looking thing threaded, and does it have a hole in the center?
(Some diaphram valves, mostly those destined for industrial uses, are actuated pneumaticly instead electricaly)
