Abstract: A directional-control valve is typically comprised of a valve spool that slides linearly within a valve body. The valve body typically includes five internal ports, which are covered or exposed as the spool slides within the body.

This application describes three embodiments that enable the aforementioned port connectivity when the spool is in the center position.
