Molex as a manufacturer make literaly 10's of thousands of different types of connector.

I cant recall seeing a mid position valve with a connector on it so can you post up the make and model?

These connectors are not as standard.  B/G use them for ease of replacement after installation.  If you get my drift.

Mid position valve is a Myson Power Extra.

This is the connector used between the JB and Valve (after market fit)

I bought something like that from ebay a couple of years ago, cut to size, use them for my light and sound system for Halloween - Don't ask ::) ::)

Came in a block of 16, I think, I was searching for 'Terminal Block' and found these that unplug, very handy... :y :y
