The same ones we use when only plumbing to one side of the cylinder. It is not the correct one for extend/retract. For that you need what Automation Direct calls a "5 port" Like this

The only real issue is the valve is rated for 115 PSI working pressure so you need a downstream relief valve per R77-D
