Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M4F
The AirTAC 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M4F is a genuine 400M valve manifold base with 4 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 4 separate drops.

About the Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M4F
The 400M4F is a 4 station manifold base for the largest AirTAC body size. Instead of running a separate air drop to each valve, one 1/2 inch supply enters the base and feeds all four stations, so a four valve bank needs one shut-off, one filter set and one line instead of four. The exhausts are collected in the base too, which means you can silence the whole bank at a single point rather than fitting a muffler to every valve.
The overall length is 166 mm and the mounting pitch, the hole centres you drill in the panel, is 154 mm. The code carries no thread letter, so the common inlet is PT, an Rc tapered thread that seals on its flanks and is normally made up with PTFE tape. The base accepts the 4A400 air pilot and the 4V400 and 5V400 solenoid valves of the 400 body, mixed freely on the same bar.

Length and pitch follow the official AirTAC 400M dimension table: A = 61 mm for one station plus 35 mm per extra station, giving 166 mm at 4 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 400M4F Is Used
Machining centre fixture clamping
Power chucks and swing clamps on a CNC line take high flow 400 body valves. A 4 station base fed from one 1/2 inch inlet gives the fixture builder a single air drop into the fixture body and a single exhaust point at the machine edge.
Bulk tanker and silo discharge controls
Powder tankers run several big pneumatic valves for aeration pads, cone fluidisation and discharge gates. The 400M4F keeps those four large valves on one 166 mm bar at one supply point, so the driver isolates the whole bank with one cock.
Water treatment actuator bank
Filter and penstock actuators in a treatment works are grouped along a walkway. A 4 station 400M base mounts the pilot valves in one row on a 154 mm pitch, and the collected exhaust can be piped away from the electrics instead of vented over them.
Is the Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M4F the Right Part?
The taper is the first thing to match: PT (Rc) seals on the thread flanks with PTFE tape and suits the steel or malleable fittings common on plant pipework; if your panel is built on BSPP parallel fittings with bonded washers, the G version of this base is the one to order instead. On space, this 4 station bar is 166 mm long with a 154 mm pitch. A 3 station base is 131 mm long (119 mm pitch) and a 5 station base is 201 mm long (189 mm pitch), so each extra station costs 35 mm of panel. The 400 body tops out at 8 stations, which at 371 mm is still a compact bar for the flow it carries.
If expansion is likely, consider buying a 5F or 6F base now and blanking the spare stations with a P-400M-R2 plate kit. Swapping a live bank later means shutting the supply twice; a plated spare station costs little and keeps the option open.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Valve body size (400) matches the base
- ✓ Station count — allow spares for later
- ✓ Panel space for 166 mm of length
- ✓ Mounting holes at 154 mm pitch
- ✓ Thread standard (PT)
Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M4F FAQ
It is a 4 station manifold base for the 400 body size. Overall length A is 166 mm, mounting pitch KA is 154 mm, and each additional station adds 35 mm. The common inlet is 1/2 inch PT (Rc tapered), the station ports are 1/2 inch, and the base carries the 4A400 air pilot valve or the 4V400 and 5V400 solenoid valves, which can be mixed on one bar. The 400 body is available from 1F up to a maximum of 8 stations.
No letter means PT, an Rc tapered parallel-to-taper thread. It seals metal to metal on the flanks of the thread, so the joint is made with a few turns of PTFE tape rather than a face washer. That suits plant pipework fittings. If your installation uses BSPP parallel fittings that seal on a bonded washer or O-ring at the face, order the G version of this base instead.
