About the Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1004
The AirTAC PCF1004 is a PC-series one-touch female connector: a Dia 10 mm push-in tube socket on one side and a 1/2in PT internal thread on the other. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip the OD; press the release ring and the tube slides straight back out. Because the thread is internal, you bolt the fitting straight onto a male stud or tapped port - no external nipple in between.
This is the resin and brass one-touch profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a service window of -20 to +70 C. The 1/2in threaded section is PBT over a brass stud, the release button and chuck are POM, and the seal is NBR. AirTAC ships the taper thread with sealant already applied, so it seals on the first make-up without a roll of PTFE tape.

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 PCF1004 Is Used
Fixture clamp cylinders
A 63 mm bore swing clamp on a CNC machining fixture usually carries a 1/2in female port; the PCF1004 screws straight into it and takes the Dia 10 nylon drop to the directional valve.
FRL outlet to machine trunk
On an air preparation combo with a 1/2in regulated outlet, this female connector starts a Dia 10 PU trunk line that runs along the machine frame to the distribution manifold.
Panel-mounted air distribution
Inside a stamping-press control cabinet, internal threads let you land the fitting directly on the manifold studs feeding Dia 10 lines out to solenoid banks, with no loose male nipples to work loose.
Is the Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1004 the Right Part?
On the 1/2in thread this PCF ladder runs Dia 6, 8, 10 and 12, so your neighbours are PCF0804 below and PCF1204 above. Stepping down to Dia 8 trims the bore for lighter-feeding lines and a slightly shorter hex; stepping up to Dia 12 reduces pressure drop on long runs to big-bore actuators. If your port is 3/8in female, move to PCF1003 instead - the tube socket stays Dia 10, only the thread changes.
The tube socket takes exactly Dia 10 mm soft nylon or PU tubing. A 10 mm fitting will not reliably grip 3/8in imperial hose (about 9.5 mm), and it will not seal at all on a 12 mm tube - match the OD exactly or pick a reducing union. If you actually need to pass the fitting through a panel wall and nut it off behind, that is the PMF bulkhead female connector, not this straight stud-mounted shape.
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 PCF1004 FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum capability to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It accepts Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing and carries a 1/2in PT internal thread. Flow is published by AirTAC as a characteristic curve rather than a single figure.
No. AirTAC applies sealant to the PT taper thread before dispatch, so the PCF1004 seals on first assembly as supplied. If you repeatedly re-make the joint, a light extra wrap of tape keeps the seal, but avoid over-taping the first two turns so sealant shavings cannot migrate into the air circuit.
