Abstract
A valve arrangement having a base plate with valve ducts, a main valve a pilot valve with actuating units. In order to obtain a compact design, the base plate constitutes the housing of the main valve and contains a valve spool receiving space with an associated valve spool. The base plate is divided into a central part and two connection parts mounted on opposite ends thereof, which connection parts constitute both a end cover for the valve spool receiving space and also a limb, which delimits an accommodation space for the actuating units. When the connection parts are removed the actuating units and the valve spool may be fitted in an extremely simple fashion.
