The AirTAC AirTAC 3V310-08 Solenoid Valve, 3V300 Series (3V31008NCAT-W) 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 T in 3V31008NCAT-W marks the NPT thread version of AirTAC's 3/2 solenoid valve, a detail worth checking early if your fittings stock or machine drawing follows the North American standard. Functionally it is a three-port, two-position valve with a normally closed state: the 1/4in outlet is vented until the AC220V coil is energised, then it passes supply air.
This is a genuine AirTAC part, and the thread is a catalogue choice rather than the only option - PT is the standard on this family, with G and NPT available to order. Both states, five coil voltages, flying-lead or DIN entry and the 3V-F manifold bases round out the range. Pressure, flow and coil power are datasheet items; message us and we will chase the figures for 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.
Swapping a failed valve on a workshop jig where the pipework is already NPT, so no thread adapters are needed.
Venting or feeding the single-acting latch cylinder on a trailer restraint at a loading bay.
Switching atomising or blow-off air to a spray head on a small coating or marking line.
Thread first on this SKU: NPT here, while PT comes as standard and G can be ordered - confirm which standard your fittings follow before you buy. After that the usual decisions apply. Normally closed vents on de-energising; normally open feeds. A 1/4in port carries more air to a single-acting cylinder than a 1/8in one, though we publish no flow figure to quantify it. The coil must match the supply voltage exactly.
We will gladly verify pressure, flow and coil power against the datasheet when you raise an RFQ. Where a documented 3-port valve is needed without waiting, the AirTAC 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in) and 3V3 (1/4in) bodies list their figures. Driving a double-acting cylinder calls for a 5-port valve - the 4V series covers that.
Confirm before you order
PT is the standard thread on this family; NPT and G are options you order. This SKU carries NPT, which suits existing North American fittings. For pressure, flow and coil power, raise an RFQ and we will confirm from the datasheet - or look at the 3V2 and 3V3 bodies, which publish figures.
The 3V100M bases mount several valves on one machined block with a shared air supply and one wiring loom, which tidies the panel and makes faults easier to isolate. Valves are ordered separately. This listing is for a single valve.
