A sprinkler or "valve" manifold is the heart of a sprinkler system. The water source (hose faucet, sprinkler main line, etc.) feeds into the manifold and then the valves in the manifold redirect water to different watering areas. Its reason for being is that most water sources have insufficient pressure and flow to water all areas at the same time, so the manifold allows watering to be divided into smaller areas or "zones". A simple way to visualize a sprinkler manifold is as a small letter "m" in which the water source connects into the top of the "m" and then a valve in each of the legs opens and closes to allow water to flow to each zone. Valves in a sprinkler manifold may be controlled either manually or automatically using a sprinkler timer or "controller" which is the brains of an automatic sprinkler system.

What is the voltage to a sprinkler valve from the control panel?
Most common North American garden sprinkler systems use 24 volts AC. The control units usually plug into a common 120 volt AC receptacle. Inside the control unit there is a transformer that reduces the voltage from 120 volts to 24 volts AC. If you look on the side of the sprinkler valve coil you will see the voltage and the amperage draw of the coil. It is the amperage draw of the coils that determines the number of sprinkler that should be on one sprinkler branch from the main water manifold. The total amperage of the circuit determines what the size of the wire should be to control the sprinkler coils.
