In the process of reworking and adding to the hydraulics on a piece of equipment. I need a valve with two spools (to control 2 separate cylinders). Just one that is normally in neutral and you can push or pull to extend or retract the cylinder. No need for float. Can someone give me a suggestion on what I need? Thanks.
What valve do I need?

Need a little more info first. What is the GPM rating of the machine or pump you are using?
That's been a problem for me trying to find out. It has a belt driven pump off of the motor on it, but no markings or any info on it that I can find that shows what the GPM is. I figured to be on the safe side I should get a valve that will handle higher flows. Based on my experience with other hydraulic equipment and comparing it to the speed at which this system works, my best guess would be that it flows in the high teens at best and in reality probably lower than that.
I was looking at this one:
Directional Control Valves 220-522 Detailed Information
Am I headed in the right direction? This one is a little pricey, so I'm certainly open to lower priced ones but don't want to get too low on quality.
