If so, seems like it would work, so long as the valves will work that way. I know the valves are piloted, and only work when supplied with a 20psi minimum... I just dont know if it cares what port that 20psi is coming from.
Also, congrats on the creative pneumatic circuit. We've created ones before to stop cylinders in mid-travel.

Yes, plugging EA and EB will stop the bleed off of the unused lines.
Tell you what, I will do some testing this evening and provide feedback. I was hoping someone had tried this before and either had success, or not.
