Product Overview
The AirTAC 4V230C-08 is a 5/3-way pneumatic solenoid valve from the AirTAC 4V series, engineered for precise directional control of compressed air in industrial automation and process systems. This valve utilizes a closed-center spool configuration, meaning all ports are blocked in the de-energized neutral position, providing reliable load-holding capability for double-acting actuators. With an 08 (1/4″) port size and a robust solenoid pilot actuation mechanism, the 4V230C-08 delivers fast response times, high cycle life, and consistent flow characteristics. It is designed as a direct-fit replacement for OEM pneumatic control circuits and is widely deployed in manufacturing environments requiring dependable directional air control.
