That's another good idea!

In theory it should work.
But if it were me....I'd simply put a 45° fitting in one of the adapters or a different length close pipe nipple

Looks like a 5" nipple would spread the large couplers and adapter fittings far enough to clear.

Referring back to post #17 of this thread, and thinking about another thread discussing converting a regular four way three position valve to temporary float, it would seem that moving the two valve handles in opposite directions at the same time could result in temporary float of the attached cylinder. Right?
The valves would have to be moved in the correct direction, however, as the wrong direction would just provide pressure to both sides of the cylinder. Also, when shifted in the correct direction to achieve float, fluid would be going over the relief valve, so this is not something you would want to be doing for a prolonged period. (heat)
Disclaimer here: I realize this idea is a solution looking for a problem but found it somewhat interesting to think about. You can flame me if you like.

"as the wrong direction would just provide pressure to both sides of the cylinder."
Providing pressure to both sides of the cylinder (base and and rod end) would cause the cylinder to extend but its force would be reduced by the area of the rod.
Example could be a 3" bore cylinder with a 1" rod: The 3" bore equates to 7.1 square inches of area and the 1" rod equates to 0.8 square inches leaving a net of 6.3. So at 2500 PSI the 3" cylinder would still produce nearly 16,000 lbs of force.

I'm saying it, because Prince valves have been better made valves than the others I've used.

Chief Hydraulic Directional Valve, GPM 10, Working Port #8 SAE in, Max. PSI 3625, Model# 220909 | Northern Tool
This Chief G Series 10 gpm directional control valve features a tandem spring center, used for double-acting cylinders that hold in neutral...

It's interesting that Northertool lists the Chief valve at more than twice the Summit valve while appearing to be the same exact rebranded valve as ptsg mentions above.

It's indeed the same. You can even read on the small the serial number plate that it's made in Bulgaria. That's quite a profit margin right there.Chief Hydraulic Directional Valve, GPM 10, Working Port #8 SAE in, Max. PSI 3625, Model# 220909 | Northern Tool

On the other hand, the Summit one is a great price. The local hydraulic shop is selling the Badesnost P40 valve with 4 spools for €221 or $243.
