About the Airtac PGJ Plug Pin Reducing Straight Connector PGJ10-6
The PGJ10-6 is an AirTAC plug-in reducer, the plug-in variant of the PG different-diameter straight union family. It connects a Dia 10 mm tube to a Dia 6 mm tube in a straight line with no thread involved, so it lives entirely on the tubing side of the circuit. Push each tube into its socket and the internal chuck grips the wall; press the release ring and the tube slides back out for rework or module swaps. Because each end is sized for one tube only, the 10 mm side will not hold 12 mm and the 6 mm side will not hold 1/4 inch tube - the wall must match the socket exactly.
This is the resin one-touch profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The body pair is moulded from grey PBT with a POM release ring, and the vacuum rating means it is equally at home on a suction pick line as on a pressure feed. Soft nylon or polyurethane tubing only; at the top of the temperature range the tube, not the fitting, is the limiting factor.

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 PGJ Plug Pin Reducing Straight Connector PGJ10-6 Is Used
Pick-and-place gripper feed
A 10 mm drop from the machine's air header steps down to a 6 mm line feeding a compact pneumatic gripper, where the smaller bore suits the gripper's short, low-volume circuit.
Packaging machine blow-off leg
On a cartoning line, the reducer lets a 10 mm header feed a 6 mm air knife or nozzle circuit, and the plug-in union lets maintenance detach the nozzle leg for jet cleaning without touching the main run.
Vacuum handling branch
Rated to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), the fitting steps a 10 mm vacuum header down to a 6 mm line serving a small suction cup module on an electronics tray-handling station.
Is the Airtac PGJ Plug Pin Reducing Straight Connector PGJ10-6 the Right Part?
Size both ends before you order. The neighbouring tube diameters in the PGJ ladder are Dia 8 and Dia 12: a step from 8 mm down to 6 mm suits light-duty branches, while a 12 mm to 10 mm pair carries the heavier main run, where the larger bore keeps pressure drop and flow restriction noticeably lower. Stepping 10 mm straight down to 6 mm concentrates the whole branch flow through the smaller bore, so keep the 6 mm run short if the downstream actuator is flow-hungry.
PGJ is the right choice when you want the step-down to be a plug-in module - for example a manifold drop feeding an exchangeable sub-plate or manifold block, so the 6 mm leg can be disconnected without disturbing the 10 mm header. If you need a threaded port instead, move to a threaded reducer such as the PKD triple branch; if both tubes are the same size, a plain PU straight union does the job.
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 PGJ Plug Pin Reducing Straight Connector PGJ10-6 FAQ
It is a plug-in reducer joining Dia 10 mm tube to Dia 6 mm tube, with no threaded port. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, it holds vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and it works from -20 to +70 C with soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. AirTAC publishes flow for this family as a characteristic curve only, so compare circuits by tube bore rather than a quoted flow figure.
No. Each socket grips exactly one tube outside diameter: the large end takes 10 mm tube and the small end takes 6 mm tube. Pushing a 12 mm or imperial hose in will not seat the chuck and will leak or blow off under pressure. Use a 12 mm to 10 mm reducer first if your supply run is 12 mm, and match metric tube throughout the one-touch circuit.
