4/3-way solenoid valve with bypass position (i)

In normal position the connections A and B are closed and P to T opened. When actuated by the control solenoids, the valve is set to parallel or crossover position. If no current is flowing through the control solenoids, the valve can be manually actuated.

This valve is derived from a configurable 4/n way valve. You find this valve in the component library Frequently used Way Valves, under the Library menu.
