About the Airtac PL L Connector PL602
The PL602 is an AirTAC PL series male elbow, a one-touch fitting that turns a 6 mm outside diameter tube through 90 degrees into a 1/4in PT male thread. You push the tube straight into the chuck until it seats, the stainless spring gasket and POM chuck grip it against pressure and vacuum, and pressing the release ring lets it pull free for rework. The elbow body keeps the airline close to the wall of the port it feeds instead of standing off on a straight connector.
This is the resin and brass profile, not the metal BPC line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, vacuum down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa and a service window of -20 to +70 C. The release button and chuck are POM, the elbow runs on an aluminium-alloy guide with an NBR O-ring, and the 1/4in stud is brass with sealant already applied, so it goes into the port as delivered with no extra tape or paste.

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 PL602 Is Used
Pick-and-place cylinder ports
A 90 degree turn onto the rear port of a compact guide cylinder on an electronics assembly gantry, keeping the 6 mm tube flat against the actuator body so it clears the guarding.
Carton-erector clamp lines
Feeding a pneumatic hold-down clamp on a carton-erecting machine, where the elbow drops the 6 mm supply line vertically out of a 1/4in port in seconds of space.
Lab automation manifolds
Turning off a pneumatic manifold on an automated sample-handling station, where -750 mmHg vacuum capability lets the same fitting serve both pressure and ejector lines.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL602 the Right Part?
The PL602 sits mid-ladder on the 1/4in thread run. One step down is the PL601, same 6 mm tube on a 1/8in stud, for compact valves and manifolds with smaller ports. One step up is the PL802, 8 mm tube on 1/4in, which buys you a stiffer bore for runs where the 6 mm line is the bottleneck. Every step in tube size changes the flow path, so match the fitting bore to the tube the circuit was sized around rather than upsizing on a whim.
Two selection checks before you order: the tube OD must match exactly, and a 6 mm socket will not reliably hold 1/4in (6.35 mm) tube even though the numbers look close. If the thread is right but the fitting crowds the port face, the PLL extended male elbow gives you the same 90 degree turn on a longer stud.
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 PL602 FAQ
The PL602 is a PL series male elbow joining 6 mm OD tube to a 1/4in PT male thread. It is rated 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, and -20 to +70 C temperature, with soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. The body is PBT with a brass stud, POM chuck and release button, an NBR O-ring and a stainless spring gasket.
No. The chuck and gasket are cut for exactly 6 mm OD. Imperial 1/4in tube measures about 6.35 mm and will either refuse to seat or grip imperfectly and blow off under pressure. Use genuine 6 mm soft nylon or PU tube, and if you must transition sizes, the PG different-diameter straight union exists for that job.
