About the Airtac PL L Connector PL602-S
The PL602-S is AirTAC's PL male elbow in the stainless -S variant: a right-angle one-touch fitting that turns a Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube into a 1/4in PT male thread at 90 degrees. The elbow shape lets the tube leave a port sideways instead of straight out, which is what makes it the go-to fitting where a straight connector would foul a guard, a wall or an adjacent hose.
Push the 6 mm tube into the chuck and the stainless spring gasket and POM grip ring hold it under pressure; press the release ring to free it. The fitting carries the resin-line ratings - 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C. Note what the -S suffix actually changes here: on the PL family the body stays PBT and it is the male STUD that becomes SUS304, so the thread side of your circuit gains the corrosion resistance. The male thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals on a PT port without extra tape.

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 PL602-S Is Used
Coolant-laden machining cell
On a CNC lathe or machining centre, splash and coolant mist corrode plain brass studs inside the electrical cabinet wall. The SUS304 stud on the PL602-S keeps the 6 mm line to the part-clamp cylinder sealing through the wet zone while the PBT body insulates the elbow itself.
Plating and wash line actuation
Hoist and transfer cylinders above an electroplating tank cycle hundreds of times a day in acid fume. A PL602-S at the cylinder port turns the 6 mm supply line down and out of the spray path, and the stainless stud resists the vapour attack that dulls a standard brass thread.
Packaging machine guarding
Inside a cartoning machine's sheet-metal guard, space above the vacuum-cup valve bank is tight. The PL602-S elbows a 6 mm run sideways off the 1/4in port, keeping the tube inside the guard envelope where a straight connector would jam the door.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL602-S the Right Part?
At the 1/4in thread position the PL ladder runs Dia 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. Step down to PL402-S for a 4 mm line feeding a small pilot or sensor port, or up to PL802-S where an 8 mm bore feeds a faster-cycling cylinder and flow capacity rises with the bore. The tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 6 chuck will not seal on 1/4in (6.35 mm) tube, and no thread below 1/4in exists for a 6 mm PL elbow, so M5 and 1/8in buyers need the Dia 4 sizes instead. If the run needs to pass through a panel rather than terminate on it, the PLM bulkhead male elbow is the shape to compare against this one.
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-S FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting joins a Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4in PT male thread, and it is the stainless -S variant with a SUS304 stud on a PBT body. Ratings are identical to the standard PL602 - the -S changes the stud material only.
No. AirTAC ships the 1/4in PT male thread with sealant already applied, so it screws straight into a PT-tapped port. M5 sizes in the PL family use a sealing gasket instead, but this SKU is a threaded sealant part. Hand-tighten to seat, then snug it - the pre-applied compound does the sealing work, and the SUS304 stud resists galling better than bare brass when the fitting is later serviced.
