About the Airtac PL L Connector PL1001D
The PL1001D is an AirTAC PL male elbow, the right-angle one-touch fitting that joins a Dia 10mm tube to a 1/8in PT male thread. To make the joint you simply push the tube straight into the chuck until it seats; the internal grab ring holds it against pressure and vibration, and pressing the release ring lets the tube slide back out for rework. The 90-degree body turns the air path without kinking the hose.
This is the resin-and-brass one-touch profile, not the metal BPC line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The D suffix turns the whole body black (on the straight PC and POC connectors the D only changes the release button, so this is a real body-colour variant). The 1/8in stud arrives with sealant pre-applied, so it seals into the port directly.

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 PL1001D Is Used
Cylinder ports inside tight guards
On a pneumatic press or clamping station the port often sits close to the guard panel; the 90-degree body of the PL1001D points the 10mm hose along the frame instead of straight out, avoiding a crushed or sharply bent tube.
Indexing stops on packaging lines
Carton and tray conveyors use short-stroke stopper cylinders fed from 10mm distribution lines; the elbow threads into the cylinder port and turns the feed down the conveyor side, where the pre-applied PT sealant seals without extra tape.
Vacuum pick-and-place gantries
Rated to -750 mmHg, the fitting suits the suction side of a PCB or glass-sheet handling gantry, letting 10mm vacuum tube drop from the end-effector line at a right angle through crowded cabling.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL1001D the Right Part?
On the 1/8in thread, Dia 10 sits one step down from the top of the PL ladder: PL8001 gives you an 8mm tube on the same stud for lighter lines and slightly easier hose routing, while PL12001 steps up to 12mm where a cylinder or valve needs more bore. The 1/8in thread is the only size in the PL series that carries every tube diameter from 4 to 12mm, so if you later standardise the thread, this stud stays in the family.
Pick an elbow instead of a straight PC connector when the tube has to leave the port sideways against a wall, guard or machine frame. Check the tube before ordering: these fittings grip the outside diameter only, so a Dia 10 fitting will not seal on 3/8in or 5/16in tube, however close it looks.
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 PL1001D FAQ
It is a one-touch male elbow joining a Dia 10mm tube to a 1/8in PT male thread. Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Body is black (D suffix) in the resin-and-brass construction, with POM chuck, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring. It takes soft nylon or polyurethane tube.
No. The chuck grips one outside diameter only, so the PL1001D accepts Dia 10mm tube exclusively - an undersized tube will slide out under pressure. If your line is 8mm, order PL8001 on the same 1/8in thread instead, and for a 12mm line use PL12001. If the port itself is the constraint rather than the tube, a straight PC connector or a universal-angle PH elbow may suit better.
