About the Airtac PL L Connector PL1202-S
The PL1202-S is an AirTAC PL male elbow in the SUS304 stainless-stud configuration, joining Dia 12 mm polyurethane or soft nylon tubing to a 1/4in PT male thread at a right angle. Push the tube straight into the chuck and the stainless spring gasket and POM grip ring lock it; press the release ring and the tube pulls free. On this PL family the elbow body remains engineering-plastic PBT while the male stud is machined from Stainless steel 304, so the stainless benefit sits exactly where the fitting meets the metal port.
The ratings are identical to the standard resin line: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum capability, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C service. Stainless does not re-rate the part, and the dimension table matches the grey PL1202 exactly. The male thread arrives with sealant pre-applied, so the elbow seals on a PT port without extra tape or paste.

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 PL1202-S Is Used
Bottle-rinse cylinder on a washdown filling line
The elbow turns the Dia 12 feed down into a rinse-head cylinder port set low in the frame, keeping the hose clear of splash while the SUS304 stud shrugs off daily caustic washdown where a plated brass stud would pit.
Jig-lift actuator in an electroplating shop
Acid mist above plating tanks corrodes exposed brass fast. A PL1202-S on the lift cylinder's 1/4in PT port keeps the threaded joint in 304 stainless, and the elbow lets the Dia 12 line run flat along the jig arm instead of standing proud.
Chemical dosing skid at a water-treatment plant
On a chlorine-dosing skid the elbow drops the Dia 12 supply line vertically into a valve manifold fed through a 1/4in PT panel port, using the largest bore in the ladder to keep pressure drop low on the longest run of the circuit.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL1202-S the Right Part?
Dia 12 is the top of the PL 1/4in ladder, so PL1202-S is the largest bore this thread carries and there is no step up in tube size. The neighbour below is PL1002 (Dia 10 tube, same 1/4in thread), which costs nothing to swap if your actuator feed is lighter. If the port itself is 3/8in or 1/2in PT, PL1203 and PL1204 take the same Dia 12 tube with a bigger stud. Tubing must measure Dia 12 exactly - a 12.7mm nominal 1/2in hose will not seal in a Dia 12 chuck and will blow off under pressure. Choose the PL elbow over the straight PC connector when the line must turn 90 degrees at the port, such as dropping a feed down the side of a cylinder or manifold where a straight body would foul the guard.
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-S FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2); vacuum capability -750 mmHg (10 Torr); proof pressure 1.5 MPa; operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting joins Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/4in PT male thread. These figures are the standard resin-line profile and are unchanged by the -S suffix.
No. On PL, PLL, PEB, PED, PYB, PZB, PH and PHW stainless variants, AirTAC keeps the elbow body in PBT and makes the male stud SUS304. Only the straight PC and POC connectors get an all-stainless 304 body. If your spec demands a solid stainless body, move to the PC1204-S straight connector instead; the elbow shape itself stays PBT in every case.
