Genuine AirTAC valve manifold, order code 300M-5F from the 4AM range. The options this code selects are decoded below; series data follow the official AirTAC catalog.
The 300M-5F carries five 4A300 valves on a single rail, an odd station count that suits machines with a central valve group plus one independent function, such as a scrap ejector alongside four station valves. All five valves draw from the same 3/8 inch supply port and vent to a common exhaust, so an upstream filter-regulator sized once covers the whole bank.
Its 164 mm length follows the 300M rule of 52 mm plus 28 mm per added station, keeping the footprint modest even at five valves. Five of the 12 permitted 300M stations are used here, and the PT thread version arrives complete with manifold, seals and screws; close unused positions with the separate P-300M-R2 blank plate kit.

Step up from 300M-4F when a fifth 4A300 valve is really in the circuit; step down from 300M-6F if you only need five. Do not fill stations speculatively, because open positions must be bought as P-300M-R2 blank plate kits. Remember the 300M ceiling is 12 stations, well above this code, so growth later stays on the same rail. PT is the default thread ending; specify G or T in the code when the site piping is NPT. Bigger 4A400 valves belong on the 400M manifold.
Drive five diverter gates on a sortation conveyor from one manifold so each chute valve shares the same filtered-air feed and common exhaust.
Group the fill, clamp, cap, release and reject valves of a filling head on a single 164 mm bank, simplifying the air scheme at the machine.
Mount the clamp and unlock valves for four rotary-table stations plus the indexer itself on one 300M-5F behind the fixture housing.
Five stations for 4A300 valves, PT thread. Length A is 164 mm (52 mm base plus 28 mm per extra station), supply port P is 3/8 inch, and the 300M series allows up to 12 stations. Fluid is air filtered to 40 um, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Supplied with manifold, seals and screws; spare positions use the separate P-300M-R2 kit.
On the 300M series every station beyond the first adds 28 mm to the rail, so going from five to six valves (300M-6F) lengthens the bank by 28 mm, from 164 mm to 192 mm. That predictable growth makes it easy to reserve panel space for future valves.
