How many orifices do manual air valves have? Do they have 2? If so, how do I plumb them? I'm still gathering my air stuff and decided to go with manual air valves.
You need six valves to do this. You have one from the main supply of the tank...then tee off 4 in a row which will go to each corner, and the 6th valve will be a release valve which will be opened only when you let air out (which will also be open with which valve corner you want down.

Or buy two two-way manifolds skip manual and go electrical. One for front, one for rear. That way you have less connections which equals less chances for leaks and easier to plumb. Manual valves will never be as accurate with ride height. Then later you can easily upgrade to a digital controller.
I thought about those manifolds too. The only reason I kinda wanna go manual is cause I live in a cold climate and electric would be more problems then manual.
even though you live in cold climate, electrical solenoids are the way to go, it'll be a hassle to run airlines to your armrest area or wherever you gonna put the manual valves. its only gonna equal more fittings which also might lead up to more leaks :(
