About the Airtac PGJ Plug Pin Reducing Straight Connector PGJ12-10
The AirTAC PGJ12-10 is a plug-in reducer from the PGJ range of different diameter straight unions: a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 12 mm tube on the large socket to Dia 10 mm tube on the small socket in a straight line, with no threaded port anywhere in the part. Push each tube home and the internal chuck grips it against the seal; press the POM release ring to free it again.
This is the resin spec profile, not the 0.9 MPa 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. Tubing must be soft nylon or polyurethane. Because there is no thread, there is no sealant to apply and no torque to worry about - the connection is purely push-fit. The standard body is grey; adding the D suffix to the code changes the body to black.

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 PGJ12-10 Is Used
Press shop ring main drop
At a stamping press, step a Dia 12 mm ring-main feed down to Dia 10 mm hose on its way to the clamping cylinder, with no threaded adaptor to seal or work loose under vibration.
Vacuum pick-and-place array
The -750 mmHg (10 Torr) negative pressure rating lets this reducer sit in the vacuum circuit of a packaging machine's suction cup array, where a Dia 12 trunk feeds Dia 10 drop legs to the cups.
Palletiser hose changeover
On an automated palletiser, maintenance can swap a worn Dia 10 actuator hose straight into a Dia 12 manifold drop - press the old tube out, press the new line in, and the line is back up.
Is the Airtac PGJ Plug Pin Reducing Straight Connector PGJ12-10 the Right Part?
PGJ12-10 is the mildest step available off the Dia 12 bore. The next fitting down on the same inlet is PGJ12-8, which takes Dia 12 down to Dia 8 mm in one part when the drop needs to be smaller, and Dia 12 is the largest tube OD in this catalogue, so no larger entry exists. On the small side, PGJ10-8 handles a Dia 10 to Dia 8 step if you are stepping between the two smaller bores instead. Tube OD must match exactly on both ends - the Dia 10 socket will not seal or hold 8 mm tube, and neither end accepts inch tubing.
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 PGJ12-10 FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting steps Dia 12 mm tube down to Dia 10 mm and takes soft nylon or polyurethane tubing only. It is a straight union with no thread.
No. Each one-touch socket is cut for a single tube OD, so the Dia 10 half of the PGJ12-10 will not grip or seal Dia 8 tube. Order PGJ12-8, which steps Dia 12 down to Dia 8 in one fitting, for that combination.
