About the Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1001
The PCF1001 is an AirTAC PCF female connector, a one-touch fitting that takes Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube into a 1/2in PT female thread. Because the port side is a tapped hole rather than a male stud, the fitting screws straight onto an existing internal thread - a valve port, a manifold outlet or an FRL tap - with no adapter in between.
To make the connection you push the tube firmly into the chuck until it bottoms out; the stainless spring gasket and chuck teeth lock it against both pressure and vacuum, and pressing the POM release ring lets it slide free again. This is the resin and brass profile, rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The 1/2in thread arrives from AirTAC with sealant already applied, so the port simply needs to be clean before assembly - there is no need to strip and re-tape anything.

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 PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1001 Is Used
Solenoid valve manifold on a bottling line
Valve islands on rinsing and filling machines commonly carry 1/2in female PT ports; the PCF1001 threads on directly and feeds Dia 10 mm tube to the cylinder, using the full available bore with no reducing adapter in the flow path.
FRL outlet to a drop line
A 1/2in filter-regulator-lubricator outlet on a workshop air main is a natural match: push the Dia 10 mm drop tube in by hand, and the pre-sealed female thread seals against the regulator body without tape or paste.
Conveyor gate cylinder supply
Sorting and diverting conveyors use gate cylinders that index at speed; a female connector at the valve port keeps the fitting profile short at the manifold so it clears the guard, with the chuck holding the Dia 10 mm tube under repeated pressure spikes.
Is the Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1001 the Right Part?
This is the largest thread in the PCF ladder, so there is nothing bigger to step up to - buyers wanting more bore than Dia 10 are at the top of the range. Stepping down one tube size to PCF0802 moves you to Dia 8 with a 1/4in port, which suits lighter actuator circuits; the Dia 12 step is PCF1204, same 1/2in thread but a wider bore for shorter, higher-flow runs to large cylinders. Always match the thread to the tapped port first, then the tube: the chuck on this fitting grips exactly Dia 10 mm OD tube, so a 3/8in imperial hose or a Dia 12 line will neither seal nor release properly. If the port sits on a panel wall rather than an open block, a PMF bulkhead connector is the shape to look at instead.
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 PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1001 FAQ
The PCF1001 is a resin and brass one-touch female connector for Dia 10 mm tube with a 1/2in PT female thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it withstands -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It accepts soft nylon or polyurethane tube in Dia 10 mm OD.
No. AirTAC supplies PCF threaded fittings with sealant already applied to the PT thread, so the thread should go into the tapped port as received. Cleaning or stripping the sealant off and re-taping risks introducing tape fragments into the chuck and is best avoided. Just confirm the port is a tapered PT form and hand-tighten plus a firm turn; the chuck grips the Dia 10 mm tube mechanically, so no spanner force is needed on the tube side.
