What size wire should I use for my air valves? What are you guys using to ground them?

I ground mine to the frame with an eyelet and self drilling screw. As for wire size, I run parker valves and use the same gage wire they have on the solenoids already. I'd say 16-18 awg should be plenty big enough.

Ive always used 16 awg, and grounded them to the chassis.
