About the Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1003
The AirTAC PCF1003 is a PCF series female connector, the threaded one-touch fitting that ends in an internal 3/8 in PT thread instead of a male stud. You push 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing straight into the chuck and the collet grips it instantly; press the release ring and the tube comes back out. The internal thread lets you bolt the fitting straight onto a male-threaded port, plug or gauge boss.
This is the resin/brass profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg vacuum, -20 to +70 C. The threaded section is PBT with a brass stud behind it, the release button and chuck are POM, and the seal is an NBR O-ring. AirTAC ships these threads with sealant already applied, so the female connection is sealed on the PT taper without extra tape or dope.

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 PCF1003 Is Used
Pilot ports on process valves
A 3/8 in female port on a pneumatic pilot valve or solenoid manifold takes the PCF1003 directly, turning a 10 mm actuator line into a sealed screw-in connection without adapters.
Filter-regulator-lubricator outlets
Air prep units in machining cells commonly carry a 3/8 in outlet; screwing on this female connector lets a 10 mm drop line feed a CNC tool changer or clamp cylinder in one push.
Fixture and jig clamping circuits
Weld fixtures and workholding jigs often have machined female ports near the clamp cylinder. The PCF1003 screws in flush, leaving room for chips to clear and guards to close.
Is the Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1003 the Right Part?
For this fitting the size ladder runs in two directions. On the tube side you sit at Dia 10 with a 3/8 in thread: step down to PCF0803 for an 8 mm line feeding a lighter actuator load, or up to PCF1203 when a 12 mm bore carries the main supply. On the port side, a 1/4 in boss takes PCF1002 and a 1/2 in outlet needs PCF1004 - check the drawn port before ordering, because the 10 mm tube size does not change with the thread. Whatever you pick, the tube OD must match the fitting exactly; a Dia 10 chuck will not seal on 3/8 in imperial tube. If you actually need to pass the fitting through a panel wall and nut it from behind, the PMF bulkhead connector is the right shape, not this one.
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 PCF1003 FAQ
The PCF1003 is a PCF female connector for Dia 10 mm tube with a 3/8 in PT female thread. Working pressure is 0 to 1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum rating is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa and working temperature is -20 to +70 C. Applicable tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane only, and the thread is PT per this catalogue.
No extra sealing is normally required. AirTAC applies sealant to the thread before shipping, so the 3/8 in PT female connection seals on the taper as supplied. Just confirm the mating male port is clean and undamaged; a scored male thread can still weep even with factory sealant, and M5 sizes in this family use a gasket instead of sealant.
