About the Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1202
The AirTAC PCF1202 is a one-touch female connector from the PC family: a Dia 12 mm tube enters the push-in chuck on one side, and the other side presents a 1/4 in PT internal thread that screws down onto a male stud or port boss. Because the thread is female, the sealing job sits with the male component you mate it to, so this fitting suits assemblies where the machine already carries male studs and you do not want to wind sealant onto the fitting itself.
To make the joint, push the 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube straight into the chuck until it bottoms out; the stainless spring gasket and POM chuck grip it against the aluminium guide, and the NBR O-ring seats around the tube. Pressing the release ring frees the tube again. This is the resin and brass spec profile: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and a service window of -20 to +70 C. The 12 mm bore is the largest the PC female connector offers on a 1/4 in thread, so it carries the full flow of the tube without a bottleneck at the fitting.

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 PCF1202 Is Used
Valve manifold stubs
Solenoid valve manifolds on packaging machines often leave male 1/4 in PT outlet studs; the PCF1202 threads straight onto each stub and turns it into a push-in port for a 12 mm feed line to the downstream cylinder.
Large bore actuator feeds
On a pneumatic press or clamp station with short 12 mm tubing runs, the full-size bore keeps supply loss low to the actuator, and the female thread bolts directly onto the male port stud already fitted at the FRL or manifold.
Conveyor air drop points
Along a bottling conveyor, a 1/4 in male stud on the frame rail receives the PCF1202, giving line fitters a push-in takeaway for 12 mm drop hoses to air knives or hold-down blow nozzles without tools.
Is the Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1202 the Right Part?
Within the PC female ladder on a 1/4 in thread, Dia 12 is the top of the range - the next tube down is Dia 10 (PCF1002), and stepping down shaves the bore if your cylinder or valve port is a size smaller. If you need more than 12 mm, move up to a 3/8 in thread (PCF1203) rather than looking for a larger tube on this thread; there is no Dia 16 in this catalogue. For smaller line drops the same 12 mm tube is also available on a 1/8 in female thread as PCF1201.
Match the female thread to a male PT stud of exactly 1/4 in and check the port depth before ordering - a PT taper seals progressively, so bottoming out in a shallow boss can crack the PBT body. And remember the one-touch rule: tube OD must match the chuck exactly, so a Dia 12 PCF will not grip 1/2 in imperial tube even though the numbers look close.
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 PCF1202 FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting joins Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4 in PT female thread. Use only soft tubing; harder wall materials will not seal on the chuck.
No. The 1/4 in PT thread on this fitting is female, so the taper seal is made by the male stud you screw into it. Prepare that male thread with sealant tape or compound as you would any PT joint, and stop short of the last two threads so no sealant migrates into the air path.
