5-way valve

Directional valve with a second tank connection. This design was very popular for a long time, as on the one hand it was possible to place different loads on the two connections and on the other hand special circuits were possible

(Plunger circuit for fast advance).

Since port layouts have become internationally standardised, these valves no longer meet hydraulic standards. (Figure F 40)
