About the Airtac PL L Connector PL1004D-S
The AirTAC PL1004D-S is a PL male elbow one-touch fitting that joins Dia 10 soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/2in PT male thread at a fixed 90-degree angle. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it against pressure; press the POM release ring and the tube slides straight back out for rework or re-routing. The 1/2in PT stud arrives with sealant already applied to the thread, so no additional tape or paste is needed at assembly.
The -S suffix means something specific on a PL part: the male STUD is SUS304 stainless steel while the elbow body stays moulded PBT, which on this SKU is the black D-colour version. Ratings are identical to the standard resin line - 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The stainless stud is what you are buying here: a threaded entry that stands up to wash-down splash and humid or mildly corrosive air where a plated brass stud would pit over time.

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 PL1004D-S Is Used
Flow-wrapper cylinder drops
On a horizontal flow-wrapper, a PL elbow at the Dia 10 cylinder port lets the supply line run flat along the machine frame instead of sticking out at a right angle into the guard.
Plating-line pick-and-place feed
Near plating tanks, acid mist attacks plated brass threads. The SUS304 stud on this elbow keeps the Dia 10 actuator feed sealed where a standard PL1004D would corrode at the port.
Marine hatch actuator lines
Salt-laden deck air pits brass fittings fast. A 1/2in PT elbow with a stainless stud feeding a hatch or door cylinder survives the environment; the PBT body is unaffected by salt spray.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL1004D-S the Right Part?
Dia 10 sits mid-ladder on the PL 1/2in row, which runs Dia 6, 8, 10 and 12. Step down to PL804 if the valve or actuator port is drilled for Dia 8 runs, or up to PL1204 for a Dia 12 cylinder supply; the elbow body grows with the tube, so check swing clearance in tight guards before you order. Match the stud to the port - it is a 1/2in PT thread, and AirTAC publishes this catalogue in PT only, so do not spec it against a G or NPT port.
Tube OD must match the chuck exactly: a Dia 10 fitting will not seal on 8mm or 12mm tube, whatever force you use. If the circuit needs a diameter change, make it with a PG different-diameter union elsewhere in the line rather than forcing a mismatched tube into this chuck.
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 PL1004D-S FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. This SKU is a PL male elbow one-touch fitting for Dia 10 soft nylon or polyurethane tube with a 1/2in PT male thread, black PBT body and SUS304 stud.
No. On the PL family the -S upgrade applies only to the male stud, which is SUS304. The elbow body stays PBT (black on this D version) and the release button stays POM. Pressure, vacuum and temperature ratings are exactly those of the standard PL1004D, so no re-rating is needed or allowed.
