I don't know if Todd has a 3mm valve or not.
Raptor: Is it 3mm coming out of the pump? My Wren 44 uses 3mm hoses... but it's 4mm from the pump. So... I run 4mm to the valve, and filter... then I use a 4mm to 3mm Festo right at the engine.

The P20 feeds are 3mm lines, jetcat sent 4mm shutoff valves, is there any 3mm shutoff without halving to make a reducer from 4mm?

afaik, festo do not make a 3mm valve, which is why Wren sells the special 4-3mm adapters for the valve, see "plug-in reducer" about half way down the page http://www.wrenturbines.co.uk/access...sto-connectors

Your right... Brain fart... I was thinking 6 & 4 , not 4 & 3... Can't say I've ever seen a 3mm valve..

This is about as close as I could find with a simple google search:

Only problem with that is... the seals inside of it may not like Kero.

Agreed. There isn't much out there. Until something becomes available a 4mm valve with increaser then reducer is the best solution.

Why not trust the solenoids? From what I have seen an extra valve causes more trouble then it helps. Removeing the valve would eliminate atleast 3 connections points(potential leaks) in this case, free up space and save some weight. (I know this wasn't the question)

This is the one I've been using on my Wrens for years. You have to heat up and stretch the tubing to force it over the 4mm nipple. It forms a tight seal and works great.
