Open-Center Directional Control Valve Catalog HY17-8505/UK Technical Information VO40 Circuit Types – Parallel Circuit In the open-center parallel circuit, oil flows through the open-center passage when all of the spools are in neutral. When spools are shifted, oil is diverted into the parallel path and available to each of the selected work-sections. Simultaneous operation can be achieved, when two or more spools are selected. However, since oil will take the path of least resistance the ope
