Has anyone had experience with Airpinch pinch valves

[techn0]

I am in the market for replacing a few manual ball valves with a valve that could be operated remotely with some sort of control. Pinch valves seem ideal for the application. I like what I have seen from

http://www.airpinch.com

but I wanted to see if anyone else has had any experience with them.

Thanks in advance

No direct experience claimed with those particular valves, Some experience claimed with much smaller pinch valves, 1..4mm ID.

Pinch valves are well suited for fluids containing particles. Ball valves will probably last longer on clean fluid, probably _much_ longer.

Notice that pinch valves are designed to make replacement of the core easy. There's a reason.
