About the Airtac PL L Connector PL802-S
The PL802-S is an AirTAC PL series one-touch male elbow: it turns a Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube through 90 degrees into a 1/4 inch PT male thread. To connect, push the tube straight into the chuck until it bottoms out - the stainless spring gasket and gripping chuck hold it against the 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure - and press the release ring to free it again.
This is the resin/brass spec profile, so it runs 0-1.0 MPa, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum to -750 mmHg, and -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix does NOT put the whole part in stainless: on the PL family the elbow body stays glass-reinforced PBT while the male STUD is SUS304, putting the corrosion-resistant metal exactly where the fitting mates with your port. The 1/4 inch thread arrives with sealant already applied, so no extra tape or paste is needed at assembly.

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 PL802-S Is Used
Rotary actuator on a carton-closing head
Carton-sealing machines often mount their swing cylinders with the port facing the machine guard, where a straight connector would kink the tube. The PL802-S turns the Dia 8 line 90 degrees flush against the actuator body and its SUS304 stud stands up to frequent wash-down of the sealing area.
Plating and pickling line signal actuators
On electroplating lines, acid mist attacks brass fittings at the port thread first. Because the male stud here is SUS304 while the PBT elbow body is inherently non-corroding, the PL802-S suits Dia 8 lines driving rinse-station cylinders, within the -20 to +70 C envelope.
Drop-leg takeoffs on a pneumatic manifold
A 1/4 inch PT branch port on a machine's air manifold often needs the tube to run downward into a cable duct. The PL802-S elbows straight off the manifold face, and the pre-applied thread sealant means one-handed installation onto the port.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL802-S the Right Part?
On the 1/4 inch PT thread, PL elbows are made for every tube from Dia 4 to Dia 12, so you can step down to PL602 for a lighter Dia 6 line or up to PL1002 if the Dia 10 bore feeds a larger cylinder. Stepping the tube changes the bore the air sees, not the thread or the elbow angle, so port plumbing stays identical. On the Dia 8 tube side, PL801 gives you the same elbow on a 1/8 inch port if the manifold is smaller. Match the tube exactly: a Dia 8 chuck will not seal on 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) imperial tube. If you need to pass this connection through a panel wall instead of off it, the PLM bulkhead male elbow with its M16x1 locknut is the shape to look at.
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-S FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum capability -750 mmHg, and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. It joins a Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4 inch PT male thread, and the stainless (-S) version carries exactly these same ratings as the standard PL802 - only the stud material changes to SUS304.
No, and this matters when specifying. On the PL family AirTAC keeps the elbow body in PBT and makes only the male stud SUS304, so the corrosion resistance is concentrated at the threaded port interface. The 1/4 inch thread also comes with sealant pre-applied from the factory, so do not add PTFE tape before screwing it into the port.
