Abstract
A manifold valve in which mounting of a magnetometric sensor is easy and wiring is easy and which is easy to handle in maintenance and has a position detecting function is obtained. This valve is formed of a solenoid valve and a manifold base onto which the solenoid valve is mounted. The solenoid valve includes a magnet mounted to a piston to detect a position and a depression in which a sensor is to be mounted and which is provided in a position corresponding to the magnet The manifold base includes a magnetometric sensor provided to a position corresponding to the depression in a projecting state and the magnetometric sensor is automatically mounted in the depression when the solenoid valve is mounted onto the manifold base
