About the Airtac PL L Connector PL1202
PL1202 is an AirTAC PL male elbow from the resin one-touch range: a Dia 12 tube connection swinging 90 degrees onto a male 1/4in PT thread. Push the soft nylon or polyurethane tube home and the stainless spring gasket with the NBR O-ring seals it on the spot; press the grey POM release ring and the tube slides back out. The body arrives with thread sealant already applied on the 1/4in stud, so it goes straight into the port with no extra tape.
This is the resin spec, not the metal BP line: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and a -20 to +70 C window. Dia 12 is the top of the PL ladder, the largest bore the prefix offers, feeding big-bore cylinders and air-preparation branches where the tube bore itself sets the capacity.

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 PL1202 Is Used
Pick-and-place gripper cylinder
On an assembly robot's parallel gripper the cylinder port often points sideways under a tight shroud. PL1202 turns the 12mm supply line 90 degrees into the 1/4in PT port without kinking the hose against the guard wall.
Cartoner clamp-drop station
Box-erecting cartoners run short 12mm drop lines to clamp cylinders beside moving flap folders. The 90-degree body keeps the routing tight and tool-free, so a jam can be cleared by pressing the release ring and pulling the tube.
Press-bed retrofit refit
Replacing corroded threaded elbows on a retrofitted pneumatic press bed, the pre-applied sealant on the 1/4in PT stud lets a technician refit PL1202 directly into existing ports without cutting new PTFE tape.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL1202 the Right Part?
Stepping down, PL1002 gives a Dia 10 tube on the same 1/4in thread; there is no tube size above Dia 12 anywhere on the PL prefix, so this SKU is the end of the line going up. On threads, PL1201 drops the port to 1/8in PT and PL1203 lifts it to 3/8in PT, and both accept Dia 12 tube in the interface table. Match the port thread first, then the tube: a Dia 12 chuck will never grip a 1/2in nominal pipe, because tube OD must match exactly. Note too that PL is the only prefix with a mini -M series reaching down to Dia 3.2 tube, so tiny spurs are handled elsewhere in the family.
If the fitting must pass through a sheet-metal wall rather than screw into a port, the PLM bulkhead male elbow with its M22x1 locknut for Dia 12 is the right shape - do not force this elbow into panel duty.
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 PL1202 FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting takes Dia 12 soft nylon or polyurethane tube and screws into a male 1/4in PT thread. Tube OD must match exactly - no other size seals.
02 is the 1/4in PT thread size; 01 would be 1/8in and 03 would be 3/8in, both of which exist for Dia 12 tube on the PL prefix. On the PL series the D suffix moulds the whole body black instead of grey - unlike PC or POC, where it changes only the release button.
