About the Airtac PL L Connector PL804
The PL804 is an AirTAC PL male elbow from the resin one-touch fitting family: it turns an incoming 8 mm tube through 90 degrees into a male 1/2 inch PT thread, so the tubing leaves the port sideways instead of straight out. Push the tube firmly into the collet until it bottoms, and the internal chuck grips the OD to seal and hold it; press the release ring and the tube pulls straight back out for rework.
As a resin-line part it carries the standard resin spec, not the metal BP figures: 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The elbow body is PBT with a brass male stud, and the PT thread ships with sealant already applied so no extra tape is needed at assembly.

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 PL804 Is Used
Cylinder port in a tight guard
On a compact pneumatic press cylinder with a 1/2 inch head port boxed in by a machine guard, the PL804 turns the air line 90 degrees so 8 mm tubing runs along the frame instead of fouling the guard cover.
Packaging machine drop leg
Feeding a vacuum generator or small air cylinder on a cartoning machine where the port faces upward but the 8 mm nylon run must drop vertically to the base - the elbow makes the turn without kinking the tube.
Valve manifold outlet on a palletizer
Where a directional control valve manifold has a spare 1/2 inch PT outlet and the branch feeds an 8 mm line to a gripper actuator, this elbow plugs straight in and orients the tube toward the cable tray.
Is the Airtac PL L Connector PL804 the Right Part?
On the 1/2 inch PT row of the PL ladder this Dia 8 sits between Dia 6 (PL604) below and Dia 10 (PL1004) above. Stepping down to 6 mm suits lighter actuation lines where flow demand is small; stepping up to 10 mm buys capacity on longer runs or bigger cylinder bores. The tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 8 elbow will not seal on 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch tube regardless of how close it looks.
At the thread end, 1/2 inch is the largest port PL offers; the step down is 3/8 inch (PL803). Match the stud to the actual port - a 1/2 inch boss on a valve manifold or large cylinder head takes the PL804 directly, while smaller FRL outlets usually want the 3/8 or 1/4 stud instead. If you need a right angle but must pass through a panel, the bulkhead elbow PLM is the different part for that job.
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 PL804 FAQ
It is a resin one-touch male elbow joining Dia 8 mm tube to a 1/2 inch PT male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum capability is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It is rated for soft nylon or polyurethane tube, and the grey body is standard PBT with a brass stud.
No. AirTAC ships the threaded stud with sealant pre-applied to the PT thread, so it can be wound into a 1/2 inch port as delivered. Just hold the elbow by its hex while tightening so torque does not twist the tube side, and note that M5 sizes in this family are the exception - they use a sealing gasket instead.
