I have a valve question

I just cant seem to wrap my head around how one valve per bag will dump and fill I know how it will fill what im confused about is where will the exhausted air go? probly something so simple and im trying to think so complex.
P.S. im sure by reading my other posts you can assume I know hardly anything about air ride but im trying to change that just bear with me thanks

Re: I have a valve question

You need 2 valves per bag, 8 total. You can run with 4 valves total, if you T the fronts together and the rears together. However, this is not ideal because you will get air transfer from side to side when you turn, causing body roll.

Re: I have a valve question

i know what is going to happen with only 4 bags that much is understood but still where is the exhausted air going? seeing as one hole from each valve will be filling the bag and oothe other holes will be T'd together no?

No, one hole on one of the valves will be open. When you hit the switch to let the air out of the bags the air just goes into the atmosphere (didn't want to say air again as that might sound confusing). Look at the plumbing diagram on *****************, it will all make sense.
