About the Airtac PL L Connector PL1001D-S
The PL1001D-S is an AirTAC PL male elbow in the one-touch range, joining a Dia 10 mm tube to a 1/8 in PT male thread at a right angle. Push the tube firmly into the collet and the internal chuck grips it for a pressure-tight joint; press the release ring and the tube slides straight back out. The 90 degree body turns the line away from the port, so a drop to a cylinder or valve can leave sideways instead of standing proud of the fitting.
This is the resin and brass one-touch profile: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a service temperature of -20 to +70 C with soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. The -S suffix fits a SUS304 stainless stud, which is where this part meets the outside world; the elbow body itself stays PBT and is finished black because of the D suffix in the code. The 1/8 in thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals on the PT taper without extra tape.

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 PL1001D-S Is Used
Elbow at a cylinder port
A Dia 10 line feeding a mid-size pneumatic cylinder can leave the 1/8 in port sideways, clearing a tight guard or machine frame where a straight connector would foul.
Wash-down food conveyor drop
The SUS304 stud keeps the threaded interface resistant to wash-down splash on a food-line conveyor actuator, while the black PBT body shrugs off cleaning mist.
Trailer and mobile equipment lines
On truck-mounted or marine kit exposed to salt air, the stainless stud thread resists corrosion at the port, with the elbow routing the 10 mm tube along the chassis.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL1001D-S the Right Part?
On the PL 1/8 in row the neighbouring tube sizes are Dia 8 (PL801) below and Dia 12 (PL1201) above. Stepping down to Dia 8 gives you a slimmer elbow for lighter lines; stepping up to Dia 12 doubles the bore area roughly and suits short runs feeding big actuators, at the cost of a bulkier body. If your port is 1/4 in or larger rather than 1/8 in, PL1002 or PL1003 move the same 10 mm elbow onto a bigger thread. Where the line has to pass through a panel or machine wall instead of turning at it, a PMF bulkhead connector with its locknut is the shape to reach for instead. Whichever you pick, the tube OD must match the fitting exactly: a Dia 10 elbow will not seal on 3/8 in or 12 mm tube.
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-S FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), temperature -20 to +70 C. This SKU takes Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on a 1/8 in PT male thread. The stainless -S variant uses exactly the same ratings as the standard part: only the stud material changes to SUS304, and nothing is re-rated for temperature or pressure.
No extra sealing is needed on this size: AirTAC ships threaded one-touch parts with sealant already applied to the PT thread, so you can screw the stud straight into the port. Only M5 sizes in this catalogue use a sealing gasket instead. Hand-tight plus a modest turn is normally enough on a 1/8 in taper; AirTAC publishes no torque figure, so follow your own assembly standard.
