About the Airtac PL L Connector PL1002
The AirTAC PL1002 is a male elbow one-touch fitting in the PL series: it turns a Dia 10 mm tube through 90 degrees into a male 1/4in PT thread, so the air path bends at the port instead of looping a straight connector and extra tube through tight machinery. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips the OD; press the release ring and the tube frees again without tools.
This is the resin-and-brass spec profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum capability, and a -20 to +70 C operating window on soft nylon or polyurethane tube. The elbow body is PBT with a brass male stud, and the PT thread arrives from the factory with sealant already applied, so no tape or paste is needed on assembly.

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 PL1002 Is Used
Packaging machine clamp cylinder
Mounts directly at a Dia 10 cylinder port inside a tight guard, turning the air run 90 degrees down the machine frame instead of straight into the sheetmetal.
Robotic gripper wrist routing
The elbow body drops the tube low against the wrist casting on a pick-and-place arm, keeping the hose clear of the swivel envelope on Dia 10 actuator lines.
Directional valve manifold port
Where a straight stud on a 1/4in PT valve station would foul the neighbouring valve, the PL1002 bends the Dia 10 branch out sideways along the manifold.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL1002 the Right Part?
On the 1/4in thread rung of the PL ladder, Dia 10 sits between PL802 (Dia 8) below and PL1204 (Dia 12) above. Stepping to Dia 8 suits lighter-feeding actuators; stepping to Dia 12 gives a larger bore for short, hungry cylinder runs. On the same Dia 10 tube, the thread options are PL1001 (1/8in) and PL1003 (3/8in) - match the port, not the assumption. If you need clearance behind a recessed port, PLL is the extended male elbow variant of this shape.
Tube OD must match exactly: the Dia 10 chuck will not seal on 12 mm or on any inch tube, so verify the printed OD before pushing home.
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 PL1002 FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), usable to -750 mmHg vacuum, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting joins a Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4in PT male thread, which comes pre-coated with sealant from the factory.
No. The brass stud arrives with sealant applied to the PT thread, so you can screw it straight into the port. Note that M5 sizes in the PL range are the exception - those use a sealing gasket rather than sealant. Hand-tight plus a modest turn with a spanner is normally enough; AirTAC publishes no torque figure for these fittings.
