They're here.
 airbags arrived today. guess my saturday is booked ready to install and check them out. after several comments anyone prefer a single line to each one or a tee- to fill both at once.

I had air bags with 2 valves on my prior truck and in 8 years of towing both a 34' Mountaineer TT and now the 38' Montana 5th wheel, I never had occasion to put different pressures in each side. My new ones arrived yesterday and when I install them on the new truck I will go with the "T" fitting. If in the future I feel the need to go to individual lines and valves it will be an easy do.

I installed separate lines to each bag. Then I changed to a single fill. I used a brass tee from Ace Hardware.
I like the single fill better. Makes things a lot easier if you don't have to have different pressures for each side.

I have a separate valve for each side but so far have seen no advantage to this setup. If I do an install in the future, I will go with a T fitting to a single valve.

Installed my last year with two valves. Changed over to single hook up. If I do it again on another truck I will use a single fill and install the filler valve behind the fuel tank door as opposed to the rear bumber.The valves can not be steped on there. How do I know that?

I mounted the T'ed valve on the side of the 7 way plug for the trailer. Out of the way and convenient to access at the same time. Drilled a hole in the metal framing for the valve.

Last two TV's mounted behind fuel door with a T. Wouldn't have it any other way. Easy to get to just remember to put a smooth plastic valve stem cap on it so you don't scrape your knuckles when taking the fuel cap off and on which we seem to have to do a lot these days!
