About the Airtac PL L Connector PL1002D-S
The PL1002D-S is AirTAC's PL male elbow in its stainless-stud, black-body configuration: a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4in PT male port at a fixed 90 degrees. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the POM release ring to free it. The 1/4in male stud arrives with sealant already on the thread, so it seals straight into a PT port without extra tape.
This is the resin/brass spec profile, not the metal line: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. Note what the -S actually means on an elbow: the male stud is SUS304 while the elbow body stays PBT, so it is best specified where the threaded connection faces corrosion, not as an all-stainless part.

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 PL1002D-S Is Used
Cylinder port drops in tight guards
On a packaging machine's pick-and-place cylinder, a straight connector fights the guard wall; the PL1002D-S turns the Dia 10 supply line 90 degrees off the 1/4in port and runs it flat along the machine frame.
Corrosion-exposed actuator feeds
On a plating line or wash-down conveyor frame where the threaded connection sees splash and humidity, the SUS304 stud resists attack while the 1/4in PT thread seals into the manifold outlet without added tape.
Press retrofit air drops
Rerouting a mechanical press's Dia 10 airlines to new FRL outlets usually needs a bend at every port; this black-bodied elbow makes the turn at the port itself, shortening tube runs and cutting snag points.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL1002D-S the Right Part?
On the PL ladder at 1/4in PT, Dia 10 sits between PL802-S (Dia 8) below and PL1202-S (Dia 12) above. Stepping down to Dia 8 frees panel space and suits lighter actuators; stepping up to Dia 12 lowers restriction on longer runs feeding larger-bore cylinders. The same Dia 10 tube is also available on a 1/8in stud (PL1001-S) or a 3/8in stud (PL1003-S), so match the stud to the port, not the other way round.
Tube OD must match exactly - this elbow will not grip 3/8in or 12 mm hose, and forcing it leaks or blows off. If you need the elbow to pass through a panel with a locknut behind it, that is the PLM bulkhead male elbow instead; if you simply want a longer thread reach, PLL is the extended version.
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-S FAQ
It is a one-touch male elbow for Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube with a 1/4in PT male thread. Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The male stud is SUS304; the elbow body is PBT with a POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring.
No. On the PL elbow family the -S specifies a SUS304 male stud; the elbow body remains PBT and the ratings, dimensions and tube/thread ladders are identical to the standard version. AirTAC does not publish a corrosion class or certification for the stainless line, so select it for the corrosion-exposed thread, not on the basis of a certified grade beyond SUS304.
