Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M3F
The AirTAC 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M3F is a genuine 400M valve manifold base with 3 valve stations. It feeds every station from one PT1/2 inlet and collects the exhausts, so a bank of 4A400 air pilot and 4V400 / 5V400 solenoid valves runs off a single supply line instead of 3 separate drops.

About the Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M3F
The 400M3F is an AirTAC manifold base that carries three 400-body valves on one bar. Instead of running a separate air drop to every valve, a single 1/2 inch supply enters the base and feeds all three stations, and the individual exhausts collect in the base so you can silence the whole bank once instead of fitting a silencer per valve. Overall length is 131 mm and the valve mounting pitch is 119 mm, which is the panel span the bank actually needs.
The inlet is machined as PT, the Rc tapered thread standard, so it seals on the thread flanks with PTFE tape rather than on a bonded face washer - match it with tapered fittings or a converting adapter. The same base accepts the 4A400 air-pilot valve and the 4V400 or 5V400 solenoid valve, so pilot and solenoid stations can share one bar and one supply point you can shut off in one move.

Length and pitch follow the official AirTAC 400M dimension table: A = 61 mm for one station plus 35 mm per extra station, giving 131 mm at 3 stations. Overall HEIGHT is not listed here because it depends on which valve you fit - a solenoid 4V/5V valve stands taller than an air-pilot 4A on the same base.

How a Manifold Bank Goes Together
- check One PT1/2 inlet feeds every station, so you run a single supply drop.
- check Each station takes one 400-body valve; the A and B work ports stay on the valve.
- check Exhausts collect in the base — silence the bank once instead of per valve.
- check Any station you are not using yet takes a P-400M-R2 blank plate.
- check Station seals are a serviceable part: P-400M-R1.
Where the Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M3F Is Used
Palletiser gripper bank
A row of 400-body valves driving gripper and clamp cylinders on a palletising head: one 1/2 inch supply drop instead of three separate lines, with the 131 mm bar running along the gripper frame on a fixed 119 mm pitch.
Press-tool clamp circuits
Sequence die clamps and unloaders around a press from one mounted bank. Because the exhausts collect in the base, one muffler point serves the whole bank instead of one fitting per valve, and one supply valve shuts the circuit down.
Water treatment valve actuation
Bank the solenoid valves that pilot actuated process valves on a filter or dosing skid. The common inlet keeps the tube runs inside the panel short, and the collected exhaust keeps discharged air away from sensitive instrumentation.
Is the Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M3F the Right Part?
Three stations sits in the middle of the 400M range: a 400M2F base is 96 mm long and a 400M4F is 166 mm, so each extra station costs exactly 35 mm of panel. If the machine may grow, order a longer base now and close the unused stations with a P-400M-R2 blank plate kit - one kit seals one empty station - which is cheaper and faster than swapping the whole base later.
Choose PT tapered fittings to suit the common inlet, and check your supply pipework before ordering: if your field piping is parallel G, plan a thread adapter at the supply connection rather than expecting a face-seal joint from a tapered thread.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Valve body size (400) matches the base
- ✓ Station count — allow spares for later
- ✓ Panel space for 131 mm of length
- ✓ Mounting holes at 119 mm pitch
- ✓ Thread standard (PT)
Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M3F FAQ
It is a 3-station base for 400-body valves: overall length 131 mm, valve mounting pitch 119 mm, common inlet 1/2 inch PT (Rc tapered) with 1/2 inch station ports. It accepts the 4A400 air-pilot valve and the 4V400 or 5V400 solenoid valve. Fluid is air filtered by a 40 um element, temperature range -20 to +70 C.
Yes - the cleaner route is to buy a longer 400M base now and close the spare stations with a P-400M-R2 blank plate kit. One kit seals one empty station, so a 5-station base with two spares needs two plates. Swapping a base later means re-plumbing the 1/2 inch supply and re-drilling the mounting pitch, which costs far more downtime than blanking a spare station from day one.
