About the Airtac PL L Connector PL802
The AirTAC PL802 is a one-touch male elbow from the PL family: a 90-degree threaded connector that mates Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/4 inch PT male thread. Push the tube into the chuck and the stainless spring gasket and collet grip it instantly; press the POM release ring and it slides back out for rework. The elbow body is PBT on a brass stud, so the air path turns 90 degrees without adding a separate bend fitting or stressing the tube against a cylinder port.
PL802 runs on the resin/brass one-touch profile: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a service temperature of -20 to +70 C. The 1/4 inch thread arrives from AirTAC with sealant already applied, so it is ready to wind straight into a PT port - no tape, no paste. This is the mid-size step of the PL elbow ladder, the size most machine builders reach for on Dia 8 manifold branches.

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 PL802 Is Used
Rotary actuator port on packaging machines
A carton-sealing or filling machine's rotary actuator sits tight against the frame, and a straight connector would kink the tube. The PL802 turns the Dia 8 line 90 degrees right at the 1/4 inch PT port, keeping the run clear of the swing radius.
Gripper air supply inside a robot guard
Behind the polycarbonate guard of a pick-and-place cell, space between the gripper block and the cable chain is minimal. The PL elbow's compact PBT body fits the gap, and the one-touch chuck lets technicians swap gripper tubing without pulling the assembly off the robot.
Valve manifold branch to a sliding door cylinder
On an automated sliding-door or gate rig, the 1/4 inch PT manifold outlet points sideways. PL802 drops from the manifold, turns the line downward, and runs Dia 8 tube to the door cylinder, replacing a straight fitting plus separate elbow with one brass-stud part.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL802 the Right Part?
Step down and the fitting gets slimmer: PL602 keeps the same 1/4 inch thread but feeds Dia 6 tube, useful where you are throttling down to a smaller actuator or sensor line. Step up to PL1002 and the same thread carries Dia 10 tube, the usual choice when flow along a longer branch matters more than neatness. On the thread axis, PL801 drops this elbow to 1/8 inch PT and PL803 raises it to 3/8 inch PT - match the thread to the actual port on your valve or cylinder head, not to the nearest hole you drilled. AirTAC makes the 1/4 inch PL elbow in every tube size from Dia 4 to Dia 12, so no ladder step here is a dead end.
Tube OD must match exactly: the Dia 8 chuck of the PL802 will not seal or hold 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) hose or 10 mm tube, even though the difference looks trivial. If you need to pass through a panel before turning, a PLM bulkhead male elbow is the shape to consider instead.
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 PL802 FAQ
PL802 is a one-touch male elbow joining Dia 8 mm tube to a 1/4 inch PT male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and proof pressure 1.5 MPa. Service temperature is -20 to +70 C. It is intended for soft nylon or polyurethane tube, and the threaded portion arrives with sealant applied.
Not directly - PL802 carries a fixed 1/4 inch PT thread and a fixed Dia 8 chuck. For a 3/8 inch port with the same tube, order PL803 instead; for a 1/8 inch port, PL801. The PL ladder makes every tube size from Dia 4 to Dia 12 in each of these three threads, and for a 1/2 inch port the elbow exists as PL804 in Dia 6 through Dia 12. Never wedge an undersized tube into the Dia 8 chuck; the seal depends on the exact outer diameter.
