What is claimed is:

1. A valve arrangement with at least two piston slide valves, each piston slide valve comprising:

(a) a housing;

(b) two fluid outlets on said housing, each of said two fluid outlets being connected to a valve chamber of the piston slide valve;

(c) a first hole in said housing;

(d) two second holes in said housing;

(e) a valve piston slidable in said housing for providing a controlled fluid connection of each fluid outlet either to said first hole or to one of said second holes;

said at least two piston slide valves being flanged in series to said valve arrangement with valve housings of adjacent piston slide valves joining one another in such a way, that said first holes in the valve housing adjoins to form a first distributor channel for supplying a pressurized fluid to the at least two piston slide valves and that the second holes adjoin to form two second distributor channels for discharging the fluid from the at least two piston valves; and

(f) a pilot controlled check valves arrangement inside the housing, said check valve arrangement having check valves located between each fluid outlet and an assigned valve chamber of the piston slide valve and a control piston which opens a check valve assigned to one of the fluid outlets, when the other fluid outlet is connected via the piston slide valve to the first distributor channel; and

(g) at least one choke in each connection of the piston slide valve to each of the second distributor channels.

2. The valve arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the fluid outlets of the at least two piston slide valves are located on sides which are flush with one another.

3. The valve arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the fluid outlets of the at least two piston slide valves are located on tops of the valve housing which are flush to one another.

4. The valve arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one choke is adjustable.
