The AirTAC AirTAC 3V220-08 Solenoid Valve, 3V200 Series (3V22008F) 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 3V22008F runs its coil from 12V DC, the supply found on vehicle and battery-backed systems. Functionally it is a 3/2 valve: a supply port, an outlet and an exhaust, flipping between pressurising the outlet and venting it. The 1/4in port is the larger of the common sizes in this family and pairs with bigger single-acting actuators or a heavier air blow job.
This listing is a genuine AirTAC part with a DIN plug connection. Elsewhere in the family you will find the opposite state (NC or NO), four other coil voltages, flying-lead coils, and 3V-F manifold bases that mount several valves on one shared supply, with the valves ordered separately. Where our page is silent - pressure, flow, coil power - the datasheet speaks: send the RFQ and we will pass the confirmed figures on to you.

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.
Switch a spring-return cylinder on a commercial vehicle's body - a tipper latch or a tail-lift lock - from the 12V battery supply.
Open and close the air or vacuum line to a small single-acting cylinder or suction cup on a 12V-powered laboratory or test-rig build.
Add electrically switched air control to a battery-fed implement, such as raising a single-acting ram on a hopper or a gate.
For mobile and battery-fed equipment, check three things. First, that 12V DC really is your supply - coils are wound for one voltage only. Second, the state your circuit needs on power loss: normally closed vents the outlet at rest, normally open feeds it, and both are catalogued in this family. Third, whether one valve is enough: a 3V-F manifold base consolidates several 3/2 valves onto a single air feed and one wiring run, which makes fault-finding on a vehicle or compact machine far simpler than a bank of individually plumbed valves. Sizing is the honest gap: flow and coil-power figures are published for the 3V2 and 3V3 bodies in our documented kit, so either move to those bodies for printed data or send us your actuator details and we will confirm this valve's figures from the datasheet. A double-acting cylinder remains a job for the 5-port AirTAC 4V series, never a 3/2.
Confirm before you order
Yes - pressure, flow and coil power all come from the AirTAC datasheet, and we will confirm them against your application when you send the RFQ. Buyers who want published figures on the page itself should look at the documented 3V2 and 3V3 bodies, which carry full data.
A 3V-F base is a machined block that carries several valves on one shared air supply, so you plumb and wire once instead of per valve - and a faulty valve can be isolated faster. Bases are ordered by station count (from 1F to 20F) and the valves themselves are ordered separately.
