Mine is similar to yours. 10 gallon tank around 100psi. I just had a ball valve on it, I do have a 1" 120v solonoid valve like yours, havnt hooked it up yet. With the electric valve it releases all the pressure a lot faster and will shoot farther.....

I was never thrilled of PVC and hairspray, Thats a bomb IMO.
