I have one of these valves and am looking to connect 3 cylinders to it. So all 6 lines plus the pressure and return line will be used. I'll use the side ports for P and T lines, but of course must use the top 6 ports for the working lines.

And my question is, does anyone have creative solutions to hook all 6 cylinder connections?
I'm looking at 90 degree elbows as quickly as possible from the monoblock assemble to allow the 6 hoses to exit to the left or right when the handles are mounted in the ends and pointing straight up. In other words the valve will be mounted vertically.
With the tight spacings of the ports it's really difficult to get all 6 lines attached as each is over the top of the next. And you still need to get a wrench in between them all to tighten things up.
