About the Airtac PL L Connector PL1201-S
The PL1201-S is an AirTAC PL male elbow in the stainless-stud variant, joining Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8in PT male thread at a fixed 90 degrees. Push the tube into the chuck and the stainless spring gasket grips it straight away; press the POM release ring and the tube slides back out. The male thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals into a PT port without extra tape.
This -S version keeps the standard resin specification unchanged: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. What changes is the stud, which is SUS304 stainless steel. The elbow body itself remains PBT with an aluminium-alloy guide, so this is not an all-metal fitting - it is a standard PL elbow whose threaded stud resists corrosion where a brass stud would pit or stain.

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 PL1201-S Is Used
Wash-down drop on a food packaging line
A Dia 12 main feed turning 90 degrees into a rinse-area actuator: the SUS304 stud stands up to daily caustic splash where a plain brass stud would corrode and stain the machine frame.
Fume-laden air at a plating-line damper
Quarter-turn damper cylinders above acid plating tanks see corrosive vapour. The stainless stud on the 1/8in port resists attack, while the PBT body shrugs off the same mist.
Elbow inside a tight machine guard
Where a Dia 12 line must enter a cylinder port perpendicular to the guard wall, the elbow keeps hose bend radius gentle in the confined space without adding adapter fittings.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL1201-S the Right Part?
On the 1/8in PL ladder, Dia 12 is the largest tube offered, so there is no step up within this thread - the only neighbour is the PL1001-S below it on Dia 10, which suits smaller cylinder ports and lighter lines. If your port is 1/4in, the matching part is PL1202-S: same Dia 12 bore, larger thread, more engagement in the port. Always match tube OD exactly - a Dia 12 chuck will not seal on 1/2in tube.
Choose the PL shape over the straight PC connector when the run turns 90 degrees at the port: one elbow replaces a straight fitting plus a union elbow, removing two joints and two potential leak points from a Dia 12 main line.
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 PL1201-S FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It joins Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8in PT male thread. The stud is SUS304 stainless steel; the elbow body is PBT. These ratings are identical to the standard grey PL1201 - the -S suffix changes materials at the stud only, never the pressure or temperature figures.
No. Only the male stud is SUS304; the elbow body stays PBT and the guide stays aluminium alloy, exactly as on the standard version. Buyers needing a solid stainless body on a straight connector should look at the PC or POC -S variants instead, where the body itself is SUS304. Also note the 1/8in PL ladder tops out at Dia 12 tube, so this SKU is already the largest tube size offered on that thread.
