A: From the size of the coil Andy, 72 watts of heat would let ALL the smoke out in 15 minutes or less, Its sold as an air horn valve with an expected duty cycle of <5%, and B: I don't have a 12 volt, >80 watt psu to do the smoke test with. C: I'd druther not test my fire insurance. D: I just bought that Chinese airtec as I can probably regulate the input pressure to below its 0.8MPa ratings. If not, I just got another $12.50 schmardter. :( Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
