ABSTRACT:
In order to provide a manifold valve in which the overall height thereof can be lowered, a manifold base 10 is constituted by a fitting portion 18 with tube fittings 26, 28 being attached to output openings 22, 24 which open in a vertical direction on one side surface of the fitting portion 18, and a base portion 20 having a height lower than that of the fitting portion 18. A directional control valve 12 is constituted by a main valve 60 and a pilot valve 62 which is displaced upwardly from the main valve and attached at a height approximately equal to a difference in height between the fitting portion 18 and the base portion 20 from a lower surface of the main valve 60. The main valve 60 is disposed on the base portion 20, and the pilot valve 62 is disposed on or adjacent the fitting portion 18, wherein the directional control valve 12 is integrated with the manifold base 10. Since the height of the base portion 20 can be lowered owing to the displacement of the attachment position of the pilot valve 62 with respect to the main valve 60, the entire height and length of the manifold valve can be reduced.
