    Double 3way?

    I’m looking for something that would act like a double 3way. Essentially 2 valves actuated by one motion. Is there a Clippard valve that would accomplish this?

    Do you need separate inputs and outputs? Is a T fitting off of a normal 3 way not an option for some reason?

      The new 3 way Jordan Martin designed/manufactured and Jason Antle at Angry Paintball is selling is just that. Well it is actually a 4 way but works as a 3 way for cockers.

        Trbo323, that’s one idea, though for my idea I don’t know if it will work. My goal is to operate an auxiliary “item” on each trigger pull, and it may not need the same amount of air as the bolt. So I’m thinking I’d also have to have two LPRs so I can adjust the air to each circuit independently. I could just use two SMAV3’s side by side, but I wasn’t sure if there might be something more compact. Ideally would like to put whatever this is into the grip frame.

          Have you considered using pressure-operated valves daisy-chained to a single 3-way? That could be easier (or harder) to package.

            What pressure do you need your system to operate?

            Depending on what you need a smav 3 does not really act as a cocker 3 way (which is more like a 4way valve).

            If you need under 200psi working pressure, you could use a smav 3 actuating, with a T fitting, two MPA3 mounted on two MAV 4 (if you have enough space to fit that much brass in your build).
            This is what we use for the 4 way config on the Mechdev ( Jordan 's idea)

            Just wondering if the smav 3 will allow enough air to actuate both MPA3.
