Thank you so much for this write up. I'm looking forward to doing a DIY CO2 setup. I had a question about the wiring of the clippard solenoid. It doesn't come wired, as far as I can tell, when ordered directly from clippard. How does one wire it so that it can be plugged in?
There are many instruction guides that can be found online, but essentially, you just need to take an appropriate electrical cord, and solder and/or use quick disconnects to the spade terminals on the solenoid.
If you have no electrical background, I would highly recommend you get someone more knowledgeable to do this for you.
