The AirTAC Airtac PL L Connector PL804D-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 PL804D-S is an AirTAC PL male elbow from the resin one-touch family, joining Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/2 in PT male thread at a fixed 90 degrees. The elbow turn lets the tube run vertically off a horizontal port, so a hose dropped into a crowded machine frame does not fight the fitting for space. The -S suffix means the male stud is SUS304 stainless steel; the elbow body remains PBT, finished black because the D suffix on this series changes the whole body colour, not just the release button.
Connection is one-touch: push the Dia 8 tube straight home and the internal chuck grips it against the stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring seal; press the POM release ring to free it. This is the resin spec profile, rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -20 to +70 C. The 1/2 in thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals on the PT taper without extra tape.

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.

Plumbed into the 1/2 in port of a large bore clamping cylinder on a timber-frame or steel-fabrication press, the elbow points the 8 mm supply line down along the machine column instead of across the operator's path.
Where a 1/2 in PT valve manifold sits close to a machine wall, the 90 degree turn lets Dia 8 tubing drop vertically, and the stainless stud stands up to splashes on a dairy or bottling conveyor gate valve station.
On packaging machinery that is hosed down between runs, the SUS304 stud and black PBT body resist corrosion at the port interface, while the one-touch release ring lets maintenance swap 8 mm lines without tools.
On the 1/2 in thread the PL ladder runs Dia 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm, so Dia 6 (PL604D-S) is the step down and Dia 10 (PL1004D-S) the step up; stepping changes the bore the air sees and the tubing you must stock, since the chuck holds one OD only - a Dia 8 fitting will not grip 5/16 in or 10 mm tube. On the thread side, 1/2 in is the largest port this series offers, so the only step down is 3/8 in (PL803D-S); match it to the actual port, because forcing a 1/2 in stud into a 3/8 in tapped hole is a common strip-out.
Pick this elbow shape when the port faces a guard or wall and a straight connector would kink the hose. If you need to pass through a panel instead, the PMF bulkhead female connector is the right family - note that its locknut for Dia 8 tube is M16x1.
Quick checklist
It is a one-touch male elbow taking Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube into a 1/2 in PT male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it holds -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the working temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The SUS304 stud does not change any of these figures from the standard PL804D.
No. On the PL elbow family the -S suffix upgrades the male stud to SUS304; the elbow body is PBT (black here, as the D suffix colours the body on this series). Only the PC and POC straight connectors receive a full SUS304 body in the stainless line. The fitting uses a PT taper thread and arrives with sealant applied, so no extra thread tape is needed.
