Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M6F
The AirTAC 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M6F is a genuine 400M valve manifold base with 6 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 6 separate drops.

About the Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M6F
Instead of running a separate air drop and exhaust to every valve, this 400M base takes one common 1/2 inch supply and distributes it to six stations, collecting all the exhausts in the bar so the whole bank can be silenced and shut off in one place. At six stations the bar measures 236 mm overall (A = 61 + 35 x 5) on a 224 mm mounting pitch (KA = 49 + 35 x 5), with a 1/2 inch port at each station.
The thread is PT (Rc tapered): it seals on the flanks of the thread and takes a wrap of PTFE tape, not a face washer. Any 400-body AirTAC valve bolts straight on at the same pitch - the air-pilot 4A400 for circuits where the valve is signalled by air, and the 4V400 or 5V400 solenoid valves - so one base serves both control styles without touching the plumbing.

Length and pitch follow the official AirTAC 400M dimension table: A = 61 mm for one station plus 35 mm per extra station, giving 236 mm at 6 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 400M6F Is Used
Robotic palletiser gripper bank
A palletiser lifting with six gripper cylinders wants six valves in a row; the 400M6F feeds them all from one 1/2 inch drop and gathers the exhausts so the cell stays quiet and the supply side stays simple.
Bottling line reject and clamp valves
Along a filler conveyor, reject pushers and hold-down clamps sit on one 224 mm pitch, keeping the mounting strip short and turning any valve swap into a two-screw job on a single station.
Press-shop clamp circuit
Stamping and weld-shop clamps are often tripped by air pilot signals; the same 400M6F carries 4A400 pilot valves or 4V400 and 5V400 solenoids with no change to the manifold plumbing.
Is the Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M6F the Right Part?
Count the valves you need now, then think about growth: the 400M body tops out at 8 stations, so a 6F base sits two slots below the ceiling. If expansion is likely, ordering the 8F (306 mm overall, KA 294 mm) and blanking the empty stations with P-400M-R2 plates costs less and changes nothing on the supply side later. The neighbours either side help you trade panel space: 5F runs 201 mm overall (KA 189 mm) and 7F runs 271 mm (KA 259 mm), so each station you add or drop moves the bar by exactly 35 mm. Match the PT tapered ports to Rc or PT fittings sealed with tape; a parallel-G face-sealed fitting will not seal here.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Valve body size (400) matches the base
- ✓ Station count — allow spares for later
- ✓ Panel space for 236 mm of length
- ✓ Mounting holes at 224 mm pitch
- ✓ Thread standard (PT)
Airtac 400M Solenoid Valve Manifold Base 400M6F FAQ
Six stations, 236 mm overall length, 224 mm mounting pitch, one common 1/2 inch PT (Rc tapered) inlet, and 1/2 inch ports at each station. It takes 4A400 air-pilot valves and 4V400 or 5V400 solenoid valves of the 400 body size. Fluid is air filtered by a 40 um element, with a working temperature of -20 to +70 C.
PT is a tapered Rc thread that seals metal to metal on the flanks, so wrap the male thread with PTFE tape rather than relying on a face washer as a parallel G base would. Keep tape off the first thread so shavings cannot enter the supply, and remember the bank can only run at whatever the fitted valves are rated for.
