Hi guys finally getting close to finishing my bench.

I have a MTV-5 valve and the MTV-3 valve and wanted to know how to plumb them exactly.

I have tried to look for the schematics of these and how to plumb them to my PTS digital manometer but cant seem to find them.

Any help would be appreciated.

I do not have anything for the MTV-3 valve but here is what I send out with the MTV-5 valves I supply.

Thanks guys for the replies.
That is excellent Bruce.

So I take it that I should use 2 of the MTV-5 valves to make switiching from exhaust to intake etc. easier?

Looking at your schematics Bruce I am thinking I can use the MTV-3 valve I have for the Static readings.

Is this correct?

You have to be able to vent one side of the static to atmosphere, with a MTV-3 valve it does not have any open ports where as the MTV-5 valve allows ports to be vented. You could do it with 2 MTV-3's and some T-connections I think?

I have not worked with the MTV-3 valves to see if they could be plumbed up to work, nor worked out a schematic, the MTV-5 valves in sets of 2 work for this application and I only have to keep one style of valve in-stock so I never explored the MTV-3's.
