About the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1004
The PC1004 is an AirTAC PC series one-touch male connector, the largest common branch of AirTAC's resin push-fit family. It terminates a Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube onto a 1/2in PT male thread, making it the natural drop point for a main air header feeding a mid-size machine. The body on the PC series is brass, so this size holds up well at the higher moment loads a 10 mm line can impose on a port.
Installation needs no tools on the tube side: push the tube squarely into the chuck and the stainless spring gasket and gripper ring lock it against both pressure and vacuum. Pressing the POM release button collar frees the tube again for rework. The 1/2in male thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it goes straight into a tapped PT or parallel port. This is the resin spec profile: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C.

Fitting & Sealing Notes
- check Cut the tube square and clean before pushing it home, or the seal will leak.
- check Push until it stops, then pull back to check the chuck has gripped.
- check To release, press the collet ring fully in and pull the tube out.
- check Threaded parts arrive with sealant on the thread; M5 sizes use a sealing gasket.
- check Match the tube OD exactly - a 6 mm fitting will not hold 1/4" tube.
Where the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1004 Is Used
CNC machine tool air drop
Tapping a 1/2in PT port on a machining centre's air preparation block to feed a Dia 10 mm drop line to the tool-change cylinder and chip auger actuator.
Case erector header branch
Taking a Dia 10 mm feed off a main manifold on a carton case erector, where the 1/2in thread matches the header outlet and the straight body keeps the run short.
Compressor house distribution
Picking up a Dia 10 mm branch at the compressor room distribution rail, with the brass PC body carrying the weight of a longer tube run to a downstream FRL.
Is the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1004 the Right Part?
Step down to the PC804 for Dia 8 mm tube on the same 1/2in thread when the run feeds a lighter actuator, or step up to PC1204 if the branch serves a large-bore cylinder where 12 mm tubing keeps pressure drop low. Both sit on the PC 1/2in row, so neither requires a different port. If the port itself is the constraint rather than the tube, PC1003 on a 3/8in thread or PC1002 on a 1/4in thread keep the same Dia 10 tube bore with a smaller male thread.
Tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 10 chuck will not grip 12 mm or 3/8in tube, so do not substitute on sight. Where the connection has to pass through a sheet-metal panel instead of screwing into a port, the PM bulkhead connector or PLM bulkhead male elbow is the right shape, not this straight connector.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Tube outside diameter matches exactly
- ✓ Thread size and standard match the port
- ✓ Working pressure within 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2)
- ✓ Temperature within -20 to +70 °C
Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1004 FAQ
It is a one-touch male connector for Dia 10 mm tube with a 1/2in PT male thread. Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It takes soft nylon or polyurethane tube and the standard body colour is grey, with a D suffix for black on request. These are the resin-line figures, not the 0.9 MPa metal BPC figures.
No. AirTAC ships threaded PC fittings with sealant already applied to the male thread, so the PC1004 can be screwed into a PT port as delivered. Only the small M5 sizes in this catalogue use a sealing gasket instead. Check the port is a true PT form and support the brass body with a spanner on its flats so torque does not pass through the plastic release button.
