We have used manifolds the last two years (5 port). They make plumbing and wiring much simpler. One inlet to the manifold, one mounting location, wires all to one place.

Our only challenge is that some of the manifolds are tough to mount fittings side by side on. We use short extension fittings for every other port.

The Cv rating is for the valve itself, not the manifold or other base.
