About the Airtac PL L Connector PL1001-S
The PL1001-S is the AirTAC PL male elbow in its SUS304 version: a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8in PT male port set 90 degrees to the tube axis. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it under the stainless spring gasket; press the release ring and the tube comes free again for rework.
The -S suffix changes one part of this fitting: the male stud becomes Stainless steel 304, while the elbow body stays PBT and the release button stays POM. AirTAC lists identical dimensions for the standard and -S versions, so the stainless stud is a corrosion upgrade, not a resizing. Specs are the standard resin-line set: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C. The 1/8in thread arrives with sealant already applied.

POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring; body brass or PBT depending on the part. Stainless (-S): SUS304 in place of brass - a solid SUS304 body on the PC and POC straight connectors, and a PBT body with a SUS304 stud on the elbow, tee and branch shapes. Working pressure, proof pressure and temperature are unchanged from the standard version. AirTAC publishes flow as a characteristic curve rather than a single figure, so no L/min value is listed.

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 PL L Connector PL1001-S Is Used
Cylinder port inside a machine guard
On a cartoner or blister machine the cylinder port often points sideways into sheet-metal guarding. The 90 degree elbow turns the Dia 10 tube line parallel to the cylinder body so the guard closes without kinking the hose.
Salt-air actuator on a boat deck
Hatch or winch actuators on marine equipment sit in salt spray. The SUS304 stud of the PL1001-S resists thread corrosion where a plain brass stud would pit, while the PBT body shrugs off the same environment.
Plating-line rinse station
Rinse and transfer cylinders in electroplating jigs see acidic mist. Keeping copper-bearing brass away from the wet-side thread with the 304 stainless stud suits Rinse 1 and Rinse 2 stations on manual plating lines.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL1001-S the Right Part?
On the PL ladder this SKU sits mid-range. Step down to PL801 for Dia 8 tube, or up to PL1201 for Dia 12; larger tube carries more flow because the bore itself is bigger, not because the fitting differs. Note that 1/8in is the smallest thread AirTAC offers for Dia 10 tube on this series - the M5 option stops at Dia 6 - so if you later want a compact M5 port you must also drop tube size. Thread step-up is PL1002 at 1/4in.
Tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 10 one-touch chuck will not seal on 1/4in or 12 mm hose. If you need the fitting to pass through a panel wall instead of standing off a port, the bulkhead male elbow PLM is the shape to move to, not a longer PL.
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 PL L Connector PL1001-S FAQ
It connects Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8in PT male thread. Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum capability -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. The male stud is SUS304; the elbow body is PBT with a POM release button, stainless spring gasket and NBR seal.
No - and this matters when specifying. Only the male stud is SUS304 on this family; the elbow body remains PBT and the release button POM. If your application needs a fully stainless body on a straight connector, the PC-S and POC-S series take that route instead. Pressure and temperature ratings are unchanged from the standard PL1001.
