Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M5F
The AirTAC 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M5F is a genuine 400M valve manifold base with 5 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 5 separate drops.

About the Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M5F
The 400M5F is AirTAC's manifold base for five 400-body valves. Instead of running a separate air drop, filter and shut-off to each valve, one 1/2 inch common inlet feeds the whole bank and every exhaust collects in the base, so you can silence five stations once instead of fitting a muffler to each valve. Five large valves in a straight row also halve the plumbing fittings you would otherwise buy and keep the panel wiring and tubing runs short.
The blank thread code means PT (Rc tapered) porting throughout: a 1/2 inch PT inlet and 1/2 inch PT station ports. A tapered thread seals on its flanks, so assembly wants a few wraps of PTFE tape rather than a bonded washer. Overall length A is 201 mm and the mounting pitch KA is 189 mm, computed for five stations on the 35 mm per-station pitch. The base takes the 4A400 air-pilot valve and the 4V400 / 5V400 solenoid valves of the same body, so you can mix pilot and electric actuation on one bar.

Length and pitch follow the official AirTAC 400M dimension table: A = 61 mm for one station plus 35 mm per extra station, giving 201 mm at 5 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 400M5F Is Used
Automotive weld cell clamp bank
A body-in-white weld cell typically runs five or more servo-weld gun or clamp actuators. One 400M5F lets a single 4A400 air-pilot supply line feed all five clamp valves, with the common exhaust routed to one compact silencer instead of five.
Bottling line case packer
A case packer needs a row of gripper, pusher and eject cylinders running in sequence. Mounting 4V400 or 5V400 solenoid valves on this 201 mm base puts all five coils side by side, so the PLC harness lands on one tidy pitch of 189 mm.
Distribution centre divertor gates
Sorting conveyors use banks of divertor and stopper gate cylinders. A 400M5F fed from one 1/2 inch PT inlet lets maintenance shut and service the whole gate bank at a single isolation point during a shift changeover.
Is the Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M5F the Right Part?
Five stations is a mid-size bank for the 400 range, which tops out at 8. If the machine may grow, order the 400M8F now and close the unused stations with a P-400M-R2 blank plate per spare - far cheaper than replacing the base when a sixth function is added. Panel space is the constraint: this base needs 201 mm of length on a 189 mm fixing pitch, so check the drawing before committing.
Trade-offs either side: drop to the 4-station 400M4F at 166 mm overall to save 35 mm, or step up to the 6-station 400M6F at 236 mm if a spare slot is worth the extra 35 mm. Match the PT tapered ports to your fittings - if your stock is BSPP parallel, the G-suffixed variant of the same base is the correct choice. The bank is limited by the valves and the 1/2 inch inlet, not by the base itself.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Valve body size (400) matches the base
- ✓ Station count — allow spares for later
- ✓ Panel space for 201 mm of length
- ✓ Mounting holes at 189 mm pitch
- ✓ Thread standard (PT)
Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M5F FAQ
It carries 5 valve stations on the 400 body platform. Overall length A is 201 mm and the mounting pitch KA is 189 mm. The common inlet is 1/2 inch PT (Rc tapered) and each station port is 1/2 inch. It accepts the 4A400 air-pilot valve and the 4V400 / 5V400 solenoid valves. Working fluid is air filtered by a 40 um element, over a temperature range of -20 to +70 C.
The 400M5F uses tapered PT (Rc) threads, which seal metal-to-metal on the thread flanks, not on a face. Wrap the male thread with 2 to 3 turns of PTFE tape before assembly. If your existing fittings are parallel G (BSPP) type, which seal on a bonded washer at the face, order the G-suffixed version of the same base instead - mixing the two standards on one joint will not seal reliably.
