The AirTAC Airtac PL L Connector PL802D-S 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-S is AirTAC's PL male elbow in the one-touch range, joining Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4in PT male thread at a fixed 90 degrees. The body is moulded in black PBT (the D suffix sets the body colour on this series) and the threaded stud is SUS304 stainless steel. To connect, push the tube straight into the chuck until it bottoms out; the stainless spring gasket and collet grip the OD, and pressing the release ring lets the tube withdraw for re-routing.
This is the resin/brass pressure profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), -750 mmHg vacuum (10 Torr), 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. Note that the -S on a PL fitting upgrades the stud only - the body remains PBT, and the pressure and temperature ratings are identical to the grey standard version. The 1/4in thread arrives pre-coated with sealant, so no additional tape or paste is needed on 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.

On a pick-and-place module with a Dia 8 cylinder port, the PL elbow lets the 8 mm tube leave downward at 90 degrees inside a tight guard instead of sweeping across the stroke path.
On packaging or bottling machinery where condensate and wash-down spray sit on exposed threads, the SUS304 stud on the PL802D-S resists corrosion at the port while the PBT body stays light.
A conveyor-mounted stopper or gate cylinder with a 1/4in PT port takes this elbow directly, dropping the tube neatly behind the side rail to the nearest valve station.
On the PL ladder with a 1/4in thread you can step down to Dia 6 or up to Dia 10. Going down to 6 mm suits lighter actuator circuits and narrower routing channels; stepping up to 10 mm lowers resistance through longer runs to larger-bore cylinders. Flow capacity tracks the 8 mm bore, so keep run length modest if your actuator speed budget is tight. Match the stud to the port - a 1/4in PT port on a valve or cylinder takes this directly, while M5 or 3/8in ports need a different SKU from the same PL family. The tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 8 chuck will not seal on 6 mm or 10 mm tube, and there is no clamp to rescue a mismatch. If you need to pass the thread through a panel wall instead, the PLM bulkhead male elbow is the shape to look at.
Quick checklist
This is a one-touch male elbow for Dia 8 mm tube with a 1/4in PT thread and a SUS304 stud. Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Tube options are soft nylon or polyurethane, and the stainless suffix does not alter any of these ratings.
On the PL family the -S makes the threaded stud SUS304 while the elbow body stays PBT - here in black because of the D suffix. It is a corrosion-resistance upgrade at the port interface, not a full stainless part and not a rating change. If your spec calls for a stainless body itself, that applies to the PC and POC straight connectors, not to this elbow.
