The AirTAC AirTAC 3V100M-17 3V-F Base (3V100M17F) is a genuine 3V-F manifold base manifold base for 17 stations on one shared air supply. A base is a machined block: it carries no coil and no solenoid, so the valves that sit on it are ordered separately.
Seventeen stations on one machined block: the 3V100M17F gives a machine builder a single mounting and a single air supply for seventeen AirTAC 3-series 3/2 solenoid valves. It is a passive manifold base - no coil, no voltage, no normally closed or open state, and no power draw.
This base is a genuine AirTAC part and the valves are ordered separately, one per station. The 3V valve family they belong to spans both states, five coil voltages, DIN plug and flying-lead wiring, and other base station counts. We do not publish pressure, flow or coil-power figures on this page; tell us your valve codes by RFQ and the datasheet values follow.

A 3/2 valve has three ports — supply, outlet and exhaust — and two states. It either feeds the outlet or vents it to exhaust, and that is the whole job.
That makes it the right valve for a single-acting (spring-return) cylinder, on/off air blow, a clamp, switching a vacuum generator or suction cup, and piloting a larger valve.
It cannot run a double-acting cylinder. A double-acting cylinder needs air alternately on two sides, which takes a 5-port valve — the AirTAC 4V series.
A cartoning machine with seventeen separate gripper, clamp and eject functions, each spring-returned and fed from one supply.
A weaving or spinning machine where yarn-threading air jets and small single-acting rams are switched valve by valve along one block.
A production line with air-blast cleaning nozzles at many stations, all fed from one manifold instead of separate valve runs.
Seventeen positions suit a machine with many independent single-acting functions - clamps, chutes, gates, blow-offs or pilot lines. Fill each station deliberately: NC or NO to match the fail-safe behaviour you want on power loss, a port size that suits the actuator (M5 up to 3/8in), a coil voltage that matches the panel supply, and DIN plug or flying-lead entry to suit the wiring.
The one thing this page cannot give you is flow data, and undersizing a valve starves an actuator. Send us the actuator list and we will confirm sizing from the datasheet before you order. Where published flow and coil-power figures are needed straight away, the documented 3V2 and 3V3 bodies provide them; for double-acting cylinders, move to the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
Not on this page, which covers the passive base. Order valves against it and we will confirm their datasheet figures by RFQ - pressure range, flow and coil power included. If you want those numbers published up front, choose the documented 3V2 or 3V3 valve bodies instead.
Pick normally closed where the actuator must stay still without air on power loss, and normally open where it must vent or release. Keep in mind what a 3/2 valve can drive: single-acting cylinders, blow duties and pilot signals - never a double-acting cylinder, which needs a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve.
