AirTAC 3V106F-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106F15F)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106F-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106F15F) is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with 1/8 in ports. It either feeds its outlet or vents it to exhaust, which is what makes it the valve for single-acting cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping, vacuum switching and pilot duty.

About the AirTAC 3V106F-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106F15F)
Fifteen 3/2 direct-acting stations on a single series base - that is the 3V106F15F. Each 1/8 in (PT1/8) station has one DC12V solenoid and a spring return, so when the coil drops out the valve goes back on its own and the outlet vents to exhaust. The initial state of the valve is a single fixed condition; confirm it on the datasheet.
The DC12V coil needs just 2.5 W, one of the lightest electrical loads in the AirTAC 3V range, which is why this body suits vehicles, mobile carts and any panel where only a 12 V rail exists. Wiring arrives as flying leads on every valve, and each station includes a manual override plus IP65 (DIN 40050) sealing.

What a 3/2 Valve Does
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.
Where the AirTAC 3V106F-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106F15F) Is Used
Beverage-line reject gates
A bottling hall runs its reject-and-divert gates from one 15-station block: a single PT1/8 port per gate feeds the spring-return ram and vents it the moment the coil is de-energised.
Agricultural sprayer cab outputs
On a field sprayer, the 12 V battery is the only supply; the low 2.5 W draw per coil lets the cabs switching logic drive all fifteen valve stations through simple lead-out wiring.
Water-treatment skid pilot stage
Each 3V1 station can pilot a larger diaphragm process valve, so a compact DC12V skid controls fifteen big valves with one small, vented pilot block.
Is the AirTAC 3V106F-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106F15F) the Right Part?
With fifteen valves sharing one footprint, the 3V106F15F trades flow for density - the 3V1 body carries no published Cv, so treat it as a low-flow, low-power switch and verify any demanding duty with us. When you need more flow, move up to the 3V2 (1/8 in and 1/4 in, Cv 0.18-0.19, NC or NO selectable, vacuum-rated) or the 3V3 (1/4 in, Cv 0.62); when a dense manifold matters more than flow but you still want options, check the 3V2M. Double-acting cylinder? That is 4V-series territory, not 3V.
Five things to pin down before you buy: port size (M5 or 1/8 in), thread on the 1/8 in port (PT standard, G or NPT as an ordered option), coil voltage (DC12V on this code), entry style (flying lead here rather than a DIN plug), and how many stations the assembly needs (15).
Confirm before you order
- ✓ Port size and thread (PT from stock; G / NPT to order)
- ✓ Coil voltage matches your controller output
- ✓ Electrical entry — DIN plug or flying lead
- ✓ Single valve, bare base, or complete assembly
- ✓ Single-acting duty, not double-acting
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Stay within 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure.
- check Match the coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering up.
- check Leave the exhaust port clear, or fit a silencer.
- check Blank any unused station on the base before pressurising.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel, per AirTAC documentation.
AirTAC 3V106F-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106F15F) FAQ
Function: 3/2, direct-acting, single solenoid, spring return, assembled as a 15-station manifold with PT1/8 ports and DC12V flying leads. Pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, protection IP65 (DIN 40050), medium air filtered to 40 um or finer, lubrication not required. Coil power: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W (used here). AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area for the 3V1 series.
The 3V106F15F suits installations wired around a 12 V supply - battery systems, mobile equipment, retrofit panels - where its 2.5 W coil keeps the load small. The integral lead-out wire means the electrician terminates the conductor directly instead of plugging a DIN connector onto a socket, which some maintenance teams prefer for fixed multi-station blocks.
