Have you ever wanted to control the flow of a liquid using your computer or microcontroller, but didn't know how? Well, here's how: The 12V solenoid controlled fluid valve. Simply connect a fluid source to the 3/4" threaded inlet and it will interrupt the flow until 12V is applied to the fast-on connectors on the solenoid. Note: This is not a gravity-feed solenoid. This means that you will need enough water pressure to fully open the valve. Check the datasheet below for exact details. It...

We could talk about how the Zinc used in these nuts is only from the finest old-growth Zinc trees from across the globe and is hand picked only at the peak of the season. Or how they are expertly hand-ground by a 6th generation master grinder. And how every nut passes a rigorous 19-point inspection process at each step of the process. And how each nut's dimensional variations can only be measured on the sub-atomic level. We could say all that, but it would be a lie. These are standard 4-40...
