The AirTAC Airtac PL L Connector PL802D is a genuine male elbow for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PL802D is an AirTAC PL male elbow from the resin one-touch fitting line, joining Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/4in PT male parallel thread. The 90 degree body turns the tube run sideways from the port, so the tube leaves parallel to the mounting face instead of straight out of it. Push the tube into the chuck until it stops and the grip holds it under pressure; press the POM release ring and the tube slides free again, no tools in either direction.
This is the standard resin pressure profile, not the metal line: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and a -20 to +70 C temperature window. The D suffix gives the elbow a black body, and on the PL series that colour change covers the whole housing, not just the button as it does on PC and POC. Inside, a stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring do the sealing, while the brass stud arrives with thread sealant already applied, so it goes straight onto a tapped PT port.

On a compact pneumatic cylinder mounted behind a fixed guard, a straight stud leaves no clearance for the hose. The 90 degree PL802D turns an 8 mm tube along the cylinder body, keeping the run inside the guard envelope.
At -750 mmHg the resin profile holds vacuum on a packaging-line ejector circuit. The elbow lets the 8 mm vacuum tube route flat along the gantry arm instead of fouling the cable chain above it.
Where a valve manifold sits close to a cabinet wall, the 1/4in stud threads straight into the outlet port and the elbow points the 8 mm tube along the backplate, clearing the door swing and wire ducts.
On the 1/4in thread this elbow sits mid-ladder: PL602 drops to a Dia 6 tube for lighter actuator lines, PL1002 steps up to Dia 10 when the run feeds a larger bore cylinder and you want less pressure drop along the hose. On the thread side, PL801 keeps the same 8 mm tube on a 1/8in port and PL803 moves it to 3/8in; all three exist in the PL ladder. Match the stud to the port thread and the chuck to the tube OD exactly - a Dia 8 chuck will not seal reliably on 5/16in or 1/4in tube, even if it looks close.
Choose this shape when the port faces into a wall, a guard or another component and a straight PC connector would force an impossible bend into the tubing. If the fitting must pass through a panel and be secured from behind, that is a job for the PMF bulkhead connector instead; PL stays on the outside of the machine.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 C. The fitting joins Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4in PT male thread, with a black PBT elbow body, POM release button and chuck, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring.
No. AirTAC ships the 1/4in threaded stud with sealant already applied, so it is ready to screw into a tapped PT port as delivered. Just confirm the port is genuinely 1/4in PT and the mating seat is clean - then thread it in hand-tight and seat it. Remember the tube side has no such tolerance: the chuck is sized for exactly 8 mm OD tubing.
