About the Airtac PL L Connector PL801
The AirTAC PL801 is a PL male elbow from AirTAC's resin one-touch fitting range, joining Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8 inch PT male port at a fixed 90 degrees. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket inside the chuck grips it for a pressure-tight joint; press the POM release ring and the tube slides free for rework or re-routing. The threaded body is PBT over a brass stud, and the male thread arrives with sealant already applied, so the fitting goes onto the port straight from the bag.
This is the standard resin/brass profile, not the metal line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a service temperature of -20 to +70 C. The 90 degree body turns a port-facing drop into a horizontal tube run without adding a separate elbow joint, which is exactly what the PL prefix exists for.

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 PL801 Is Used
Gripper cylinders on packaging machines
On a packaging machine gripper cylinder whose port points straight at the guard, the PL801 turns the connection through 90 degrees so Dia 8 tube runs sideways along the frame instead of fouling the guard sheet.
Valve manifold outlets inside control cabinets
Where a 1/8 inch manifold outlet faces a cabinet wall, this elbow drops the line and turns it into a horizontal run that clears the wiring duct and leaves the release ring reachable for service.
Vacuum legs on pick-and-place heads
Rated down to -750 mmHg, the fitting suits the ejector-to-suction-cup leg of a robotic pick-and-place head, where the 90 degree body keeps Dia 8 tube off the moving arm through its full stroke.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL801 the Right Part?
On the same 1/8 inch thread, PL601 steps down to Dia 6 tube and PL1001 steps up to Dia 10; what changes is the bore and therefore which actuator tubing the line matches, so size to the tube you are actually running rather than to the port. If the port itself is 1/4 inch, PL802 keeps Dia 8 tube on the larger thread. One ladder detail worth knowing: PL in M5 is made only for Dia 4 and Dia 6 tube, so an 8 mm line cannot be brought down to an M5 port within this series. Whatever you choose, tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 8 chuck will not seal on 6 mm or 10 mm tube.
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 PL801 FAQ
It is a Dia 8 mm tube, 1/8 inch PT male thread elbow in the resin one-touch range. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum rating -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and service temperature -20 to +70 C with soft nylon or polyurethane tubing.
No. Threaded AirTAC one-touch parts in this catalogue arrive with sealant already applied to the male thread, so the PL801 screws into the PT port as delivered. Only the M5 sizes in the range use a sealing gasket instead, and loose added tape can shed fragments into the air path.
