how about this, does this look like a stacked valve?

Yes, that is a stacked valve.

You can see the bolts connecting the spool sections together.

We hook ours up double acting on the larger ones so the hydraulic system level is not lowered too far.

Surplus Center

or use the valve you posted above. $369 dollars.

is there really an advantage if getting a slice or stacked valve with 3 double acting ports and plugging one outlet and just getting a normal mono block 3 valve block and plugging one outlet?
basically is there any advantage of getting a stack valve over a monobody valve if they have the same specs and you are doing the same thing with them?

just getting a monobody would be a fair bit cheaper

and for a 3 point mounted forklift of a reasonable size, what would determine if i need 3/4" ports or 1/2" and how many l/minute flow rate i need?
