Arg. So we wont know until later in the week..that they'll be in stock in another X weeks. Lol. We wont get them for 6-8 weeks.

I wonder if we can find another source as a precautionary measure.

From an email today:

Please see notes below on stock issue:
Thank you for your order. Unfortunately we ran of stock recently and are working to replenish. It could be 4-6 weeks before we get these back in stock again. If you would like, we can cancel, refund you and then notify you when these arrive again so you can place your order if you still need it. Please let us know.

I did find another actuator, but its 18psi..

Here is another 14psi, but the rod would have to be shortened, and its more expensive.

This seems to be a pretty good deal! I could buy this and sell off the rest! I'm just not sure how ones "adjusts" its to the appropriate length so that we achieve the desired cutoff. I would imagine the length of the rod governs that? Can anyone confirm the sizes (mounting and rod length, hole diamter?)
