About the Airtac PL L Connector PL1002D
The PL1002D is an AirTAC PL male elbow, the right-angle one-touch fitting that connects Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/4in PT male thread. Push the tube into the chuck until it seats, and the stainless spring gasket and POM grip ring lock it against a burst of line pressure; pressing the release ring frees the tube again without tools.
This is the standard resin and brass profile, not the metal line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The D suffix colours the whole PBT elbow body black, unlike on PC and POC straights where it only changes the button. The brass stud ships with sealant already on the thread, so PT sealing tape is unnecessary.

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 PL1002D Is Used
Pick-and-place head on packaging machines
A 90-degree elbow at a vacuum ejector or gripper cylinder port keeps 10mm supply line flat against the gantry, avoiding the loop a straight connector would force near moving guards.
Bottling line clamp cylinders
Clamp cylinders mounted in tight stainless framing often have ports facing the frame wall; the PL1002D turns the 10mm line sideways into the 1/4in port so the hose can be dressed along the rail.
Cabinet-mounted solenoid valve outlets
Where a valve manifold sits inside an electrical cabinet, the black elbow exits downward from the 1/4in outlet and lets 10mm polyurethane tubing drop neatly into the loom without crossing terminal blocks.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL1002D the Right Part?
On the 1/4in PT rung of the PL ladder your neighbours are PL802D below (Dia 8 tube) and PL1202D above (Dia 12 tube). Stepping to Dia 8 buys compactness and suits lighter actuators; stepping to Dia 12 lowers restriction on longer runs feeding multiple drops. Note that the 1/4in thread is the widest rung on the PL ladder, serving every tube from Dia 4 to Dia 12, so the thread can stay fixed while the tube steps.
Match the tube exactly: this fitting is machined for 10 mm OD and will not seal on 3/8in or 12 mm tube. If your port points along the panel instead of out of it, a straight PC in the same size may actually route better than an elbow - check the geometry before ordering.
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 PL1002D FAQ
It is an AirTAC PL male elbow for Dia 10 mm tubing with a 1/4in PT male thread. 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 body is PBT with a brass stud, the release button and chuck are POM, the guide is aluminium alloy, and the O-ring is NBR. It accepts soft nylon or polyurethane tube of exactly 10 mm OD.
No. AirTAC applies sealant to the 1/4in PT stud before shipping, so the thread seals as delivered - adding tape over factory sealant risks a loose joint. Only M5 sizes in this catalogue use a sealing gasket instead. Hand-tighten, then check for leaks at low pressure before running the line at full 1.0 MPa.
