The AirTAC AirTAC 3V310-08 Solenoid Valve, 3V300 Series (3V31008NOB-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.
Read the code and the port comes first: 08 on the 3V31008NOB-W is a 1/4in PT connection, one size up from the 1/8in valves in this range. As a 3/2 valve it has one supply, one outlet and one exhaust, and two states - feed the outlet, or vent it. Here the state is normally open, so the outlet is fed while the DC24V coil is off, and energising the coil closes the supply path and exhausts the outlet. In practice that suits jobs where a lost control signal should leave air flowing or a circuit dumped, not sealed.
This is a genuine AirTAC valve. The wider 3V1x0 / 3V2x0 / 3V3x0 family covers both NC and NO, all five standard coil voltages, DIN plug or flying-lead entry, and manifold bases for mounting several valves together. Flow, pressure and coil-power data for this body group are not published in our kit; request them and we will confirm every figure from the manufacturer datasheet.

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 spring-return cylinder that lowers a waste baler lid by gravity and needs a valve that can fill and exhaust it through a 1/4in connection rather than a small 1/8in one.
A pneumatically raised stop that halts cartons at a picking station: the spring raises the gate whenever the valve vents the cylinder - either on command or when the 24V supply fails, so the line stops safely.
A 3/2 valve of this class is a common pilot stage for a larger pneumatically actuated ball valve on a water treatment skid, with the 1/4in connection matching standard actuator ports.
The 08 in the code is the port: 1/4in PT, one step larger than the 1/8in valves in this range and well ahead of M5. Larger port, larger single-acting actuator - that is the rule of thumb to size by, though the exact match depends on flow figures we do not publish for this family, so ask us to check the datasheet against your bore and stroke. State is normally open: the outlet stays supplied while the coil is off, and energising the DC24V coil vents it - useful where a lost 24V supply must leave the circuit blowing or dumped rather than sealed. If you need the opposite power-loss behaviour, order the NC variant; for a different panel voltage pick the matching coil letter, and for pre-wired leads choose flying-lead entry over this DIN plug. Buyers who need published flow and coil power immediately should look at the documented AirTAC 3V2 and 3V3 bodies; double-acting actuators belong on the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
Send the bore, stroke and cycle rate through the RFQ and we will verify the datasheet for this family and tell you plainly whether the 1/4in port suits the job. We carry no published flow or pressure figures for the 3V3x0 valves here; the documented AirTAC 3V2 and 3V3 bodies do publish theirs, so those pages are the quicker read when sizing cannot wait.
Decide by what must happen at power loss. Normally open, as here: the outlet stays supplied with the coil off, so the line keeps blowing or the circuit stays fed when power drops. Normally closed: the outlet shuts and only feeds while energised, which is the usual fail-safe pick for a spring-return cylinder that must drop or stop on power loss.
