About the Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1002
The AirTAC PCF1002 is a PCF female connector from AirTAC's resin one-touch fitting range: a straight fitting whose body ends in a 1/4 in female PT thread while the other end accepts Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube. Push the tube into the chuck until it seats and the stainless spring gasket and POM collet lock it against the NBR O-ring; press the POM release ring and the tube slides straight back out. Because the thread is female, this fitting screws down over a male stud on the machine side, which is the natural choice when the port you are filling is already threaded internally.
This is the resin and brass profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The threaded section is PBT over a brass stud seat, the release button and chuck are POM, the guide is aluminium alloy, and the seal set is a stainless spring gasket with an NBR O-ring. Grey is standard; ordering PCF1002D changes the body to black. Thread sealing is handled by the sealant AirTAC applies to threaded parts, and only the M5 sizes in this series switch to a sealing gasket instead.

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 PCF1002 Is Used
FRL outlet to cylinder feed
A filter-regulator-lubricator stack on a packaging machine typically presents a 1/4 in female outlet; PCF1002 converts it to a 10 mm tube run feeding a double-acting cylinder valve, with no threaded adaptor in between.
Solenoid manifold ports
On a valve manifold with 1/4 in female stations, this connector lands 10 mm tube directly on the exhaust or supply station, so a whole bank of valves can be plumbed in push-fit rather than with individual thread adaptors.
Vacuum carton handling
Rated to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), the PCF1002 holds vacuum lines on a carton-erector or case-packer pick head, where 10 mm tube runs from the vacuum generator port to the suction cup manifold.
Is the Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1002 the Right Part?
On the tube side you are at the upper-middle of the Dia 10 position: step down to PCF0802 if the line is a smaller actuator feed where 8 mm tube gives you the flow you need in a tighter bend radius, or up to PCF1202 when the run is long and you want lower restriction. On the thread side, PCF1001 drops the port to 1/8 in for compact manifolds and PCF1003 raises it to 3/8 in for higher-volume branches. Whatever you pick, the thread standard here is PT only - AirTAC publishes no G or NPT variant in this catalogue, so match it to a PT-male stud on the machine.
Two sizing traps worth naming. First, tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 10 one-touch chuck will not reliably grip 1/4 in (6.35 mm) tube even though the numbers look close. Second, the 1/4 in female thread is a tapered seat, so seal the joint on the male stud you screw in - do not rely on the O-ring inside the chuck, which only seals tube-to-fitting.
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 PCF1002 FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and an operating temperature of -20 to +70 C. The fitting itself is a Dia 10 mm tube connector with a 1/4 in female PT thread, built on the resin one-touch platform: POM release button and chuck, PBT threaded body, aluminium alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring. Applicable tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane - at the top of the temperature range the tubing material, not the fitting, is usually the limiting factor.
The PCF1002 is documented with a PT taper thread only. AirTAC publishes no BSPP (G) or NPT version of this part in this catalogue, so plan your machine port as PT. Sealing is done on the male stud you screw into the female thread - threaded fittings in this series arrive with sealant applied to their own threads, and only the M5 sizes use a sealing gasket instead. When engaging a taper thread, stop tightening once the joint is sound rather than running the thread to the shoulder; the female PBT section does not need to bottom out to seal.
