The AirTAC AirTAC 3V220-08 Solenoid Valve, 3V200 Series (3V22008AI) is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with 1/4 in ports. A 3/2 valve either feeds its outlet or vents it to exhaust, so it suits single-acting cylinders, air blow, clamping, vacuum switching and pilot duty. We stock this code and confirm its published figures from the datasheet on request.
The 3V22008AI is an AirTAC 3/2 solenoid valve from the 3V220 body group with a 1/4 inch port - a size that serves mid-sized single-acting cylinders and general on/off air duty. A 3/2 valve always works the same way: three ports for supply, outlet and exhaust, feeding the outlet in one state and venting it in the other. Note that this code carries no NC or NO marker, so the initial state should be confirmed with us when ordering.
The I at the end of the code means flying-lead entry: the coil arrives with pre-wired leads you connect straight into the panel, with no separate DIN connector to buy or socket to seat. The coil is wound for AC220V. This is a genuine AirTAC part; the family also offers both initial states, M5, 1/8 and 3/8 inch ports, four other coil voltages, DIN plug entry and 3V-F manifold bases. Datasheet figures - pressure range, flow and coil power - will be confirmed on request.

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 single-acting gate cylinder pushes rejected packs off a food conveyor; the 3/2 feeds it to divert and vents it so the gate returns.
At the end of a stamping cycle, a small ejection cylinder clears the finished blank out of the die before the next stroke.
Machine builders wire the flying leads of this AC220V valve into a relay output on the main panel to switch a fixture's air circuit without extra connectors.
With the 1/4 inch port you are one step above 1/8 inch, so choose it when the single-acting actuator is too demanding for the smaller size. Flying leads save wiring time where the panel builder prefers direct glands to plug-in connectors. Match the AC220V coil to your supply - a coil cannot be rewired to another voltage. Because the code does not name an initial state, tell us whether the outlet should be blocked or fed at rest when you order. If your valve count is growing, a 3V-F manifold base shares one air feed and one wiring route across several valves and makes faults easier to isolate. Filter the air upstream of any solenoid valve. Published flow and coil-power data are not in our hands for this family, so send the code with your actuator details and we will run the sizing check before you commit. Buyers who want figures today can use the documented AirTAC 3V2 (1/8 and 1/4 inch) or 3V3 (1/4 inch) bodies; double-acting cylinders belong on the 4V series.
Confirm before you order
The code carries no state marker, so we cannot decode it from the part number alone. Tell us your fail-safe requirement when you request a quote and we will confirm the variant. Pressure, flow and coil-power figures also come from the datasheet on request; if you need published numbers now, the AirTAC 3V2 and 3V3 3-port valves have documented flow and coil-power data.
A 3V-F manifold base carries several valves on one machined block with a shared air supply, so you run one feed line and one wiring route instead of many, and a fault at one station can be isolated without disturbing the rest. Valves are ordered separately from the base. And remember: no 3/2 valve drives a double-acting cylinder - that needs the AirTAC 4V 5-port series.
