AirTAC pneumatic solenoid valve 3V210-08
Product description
The 3/2-way, normally closed design gives this AirTAC valve a defined starting state: the air path is closed when the valve is not actuated. That can be useful in a pneumatic circuit where you want a valve to switch between two positions.
Its 1/4-inch PT ports are specified for both the inlet and outlet, so the connection size is clear before you plan the surrounding setup.
It runs on AC110V and is listed for air filtered through a 40 μm filter element. If you prioritize a clearly specified valve type and port size, this is a more direct fit, if you prefer a product with detailed pressure and flow figures for sizing, those details aren’t provided here.
Getting the most from it
Think of it as a component for a pneumatic control circuit, rather than a standalone solution. For example, in a setup that needs to switch an air line to an actuator, the 3-port, 2-position arrangement gives the system two valve positions to work with. The listing identifies it as normally closed and states that it can use internal or external pilot operation, it doesn’t explain which pilot arrangement a particular installation requires, so that choice depends on the circuit.
The stated air filtration requirement matters in day-to-day use: the air supply should pass through a 40 μm filter element. The specified working temperature range is -20–70°C. Check that these requirements suit the air supply and operating environment you already have, and that AC110V is appropriate for the electrical side of the setup.
Why it’s worth it
The useful point here is how many core selection details are stated together: model 3V210-08, AC110V operation, 1/4-inch PT inlet and outlet, normally closed action, and a 3/2-way valve type. Its aluminium-alloy body is another concrete material detail. That gives a buyer a reasonable starting point for matching the valve to an existing pneumatic system, rather than choosing on appearance alone.
A practical limitation is the lack of stated pressure, flow, and response figures. Those can matter when sizing a circuit or checking whether a valve suits a more demanding application. Given its design, it makes most sense when the basic connection and control details match your requirements and you can confirm the remaining system needs separately.

- Working temperature: -20–70°C.
These specifications describe the intended arrangement, but don’t establish compatibility with every pneumatic installation. In particular, there are no pressure or flow values here to compare against a circuit’s requirements.
When to choose it
It makes sense if you need a normally closed 3/2-way valve with 1/4-inch PT connections, your electrical setup suits AC110V, and your air supply meets the stated filtration requirement. It may also suit a replacement decision when the existing system calls for the listed model and connection details.
Best avoided if your application depends on published pressure or flow limits, needs a different electrical supply, or cannot provide the specified air filtration. The listing also doesn’t give further installation or pilot-selection guidance, so this is a better fit for someone able to match the valve to an established circuit than for a buyer expecting a fully specified, plug-and-play system component.
