A tabular assembly base (,) is proposed, which serves for the detachable fitting of a valve unit (,). The assembly base (,) is modular in design and comprises a plurality of individual base segments (,) joined together as a rigid unit. The valve unit (,) comprises several valve modules (,). Underneath the base segments (,) several connection segments (,) are located which are associated with the valve modules (,). They possess load ducts (,) communicating with the valve modules (,) and having an electrical and/or fluid power functional unit (,) associated with them at least in part.

Plate-type mounting base

A valve arrangement comprising several valve units placed in rows side by side in the a direction in a common row defining plane. Each valve unit comprises a base plate with supply and venting ducts extending therethrough and two mutually parallel spool receiving spaces each having a valve spool. The supply and venting ducts run in the partition, placed between the two spool receiving spaces, of the base plate and simultaneously communicate with the two spool receiving spaces. Such a valve arrangement may be manufactured with compact dimensions and have high flow through rates.
