Guys following the solenoid that went bang in my face, I took the plunge and brought a replacement. Cheers to those of you who forwarded the recommendations.

Took receipt of one of the above yesterday and having looked at the connections (air connections) today I am posed with a quandary. The original solenoid was positioned between the regulator and the needle valve, the one pictured can only be connected after the needle valve via tubing. Is this going to be a problem? I suspect not but would preffer your opinions. Also what thread sealant would you recommend for producing an airtight seal on the threads? PTFE tape or gasket sealant? The stuff I cleaned off the threads was like superglue, dry, brittle, and translucent.
