About the Airtac PL L Connector PL801D
The PL801D is an AirTAC PL male elbow, a 90 degree one-touch fitting that joins Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/8 in PT male thread. Push the tube into the chuck and the stainless spring gasket grips it for a pressure-tight joint; press the POM release ring and the tube frees instantly for rework. The D suffix on the PL series makes the body itself black, not just the release button as on some other AirTAC ranges.
This is the resin and brass profile, so it is rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The elbow body is PBT over a brass stud with sealant already applied to the thread, so it seals straight into a PT port without 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 PL801D Is Used
Pneumatic gripper on a robot arm
The 90 degree exit keeps Dia 8 mm air line flat against a compact gripper body on a pick-and-place robot, avoiding a straight connector that would snag on tooling changes.
Cylinder port under a machine guard
On a small press or clamping fixture where the guard sits close to the cylinder head, an elbow points the hose sideways instead of straight out, so the lid closes without pinching the tube.
Valve manifold outlet on packaging lines
A 1/8 in PT manifold outlet on a form-fill-seal machine takes the PL801D directly, routing Dia 8 mm drop lines down to seal-jaw cylinders without extra bends.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL801D the Right Part?
Within the PL ladder at 1/8 in thread, the sizes either side of Dia 8 are Dia 6 (PL601) below and Dia 10 (PL1001) above. Dropping to 6 mm shrinks the bore and suits lighter actuators; stepping to 10 mm raises the flow capacity for longer runs or bigger cylinders. If you need a longer thread reach than a plain PL, that is the PLL extended elbow instead.
Match the 1/8 in thread to the actual port before ordering, and remember tube OD must match exactly: this chuck holds 8 mm tube only and will not seal on 1/4 in (6.35 mm) imperial hose. For 6.35 mm tube you would need the imperial range, not this catalogue.
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 PL801D FAQ
It is a PL male elbow one-touch fitting for Dia 8 mm tubing with a 1/8 in PT male thread, black body. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum rating is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It runs on soft nylon or polyurethane tube only.
No. The chuck is cut for a 6 mm radius on 8 mm OD tube and will not seal on 1/4 in (6.35 mm) hose, so a mismatched fit will leak under pressure. For 6.35 mm tubing you need a fitting from the imperial-sized range. Also note the thread arrives with sealant pre-applied, so do not strip it off and re-tape before first install.
