Valve Types:                                    

Type 1: Normally Closed
Type 2: Normally Open
Type 3: Air to open - Air to close (No spring action)
Type 4: Bottom flow control (has an adjusting screw located on
        bottom to limit the flow, apply air to open to pre-set flow rate; 
        airoff, valve returns to normally close position)
Type 5: Top flow control (an adjusting screw located on top to 
        permit a constant pre-set flow, apply air to full flow,
        air off to return to pre-set flow)
Type 6: Top and Botton flow control (combination of Type 4 and Type 5)
