Sequence Valve—operates at sequencing or end of hydraulic or electric function.
Shuttle Valve—a connecting valve which selects one of two or more circuits because of flow or pressure changes in these circuits.
Shutoff Valve—operates fully open or fully closed.
Thermal Relief Valve—limits the pressure in a system caused by heat expansion of oil.

When properly aligned, considered the best stacking pattern from the standpoint of box compression strength.
The measure of resistance of a fluid to flow.
The amount of fluid flow per unit of time. Usually given as gallons per minute (GPM)
