air valve line installation

Im at the piont now where I need to set up my valves. (8 of them) so how exactly do these things work? I mean how do I set up the air lines for them? I get how the fills work but Im seeing on other peoples threads how they have 2 or even for connected with T pipe. I guess I dont really understand how these valves work together. can some one help me out or send my a link to plumb these?
thanks
Heres my set up
1 compressor
1 tank with 8 ports
8 valves
5, 3 way switches for fbss and drop
2 two needle guages which reminds me where do I put the "t"s for the guages to read properly on each bag? before or after the fill valve?
3/8 line all the way around

Re: air valve line installation

Your gauge line goes between your fill and dump valves for each bag.

Re: air valve line installation

All valves should have an arrow or some sort of marking that show which way the air flows.

Re: air valve line installation

they do but ive seen where the outlet side was mounted to the four way on the dump valves. is that right? I would think the it needs to be mounted inlet side to the 4 way for both lift and dump valves
