Abstract

A directional control fluid valve for establishing a first throughflow path, with which fluid is sucked in and supplied under pressure to a consumer, and a second throughflow path with which fluid is sucked out of the consumer. The valve has a housing which has a tank port, a pressure port for connecting to a pressure side of a pump, a suction port for connecting to a suction side of the pump, and a consumer port. The valve has at least one valve flap which is arranged within the housing and which can be moved between a first flap position for establishing the first throughflow path and a second flap position for establishing the second throughflow path. The housing has two parts on which are formed in each case at least two valve seats. The housing has a base part on which the tank port, the pressure port, the suction port and the consumer port are formed, and a cover part which has closed ducts. The closed ducts are connected to the associated valve seats.
