Would they fit on the VEX manifolds, and if so, would that manifold(made for the lower flow VEX valves) restrict the flow more than the manifold that AD recommends?

VEX solenoids and manifolds

Any idea why they're so cheap compared to the ones on the VEX site? The flow rate is so much higher...
The solenoid valve you have linked from Automation Direct does not attach to a manifold. This solenoid valve has 1/8" NPT female ports built into the body for directly plumbing the solenoid to what you are actuating.
