A 5-way application is one using two inlet pressure levels or in which inlet pressure is derived from two different sources for use in the same circuit. Another type of 5-way application is for conserving air on the return stroke of double-acting cylinders.

Standard AAA soft seal valves may be ordered for 5-way service with these exceptions: Solenoid valves must be re-connected to use an external source of 50 PSI to 150 PSI pilot pressure. Stack valve sections and differential pilot valves cannot be used for 5-way service.
