About the Airtac PLF L-Shaped Female Thread Adapter PLF1001
The PLF1001 is an AirTAC PLF female elbow, a one-touch fitting that turns a Dia 10 mm airline through 90 degrees into a 1/8in PT female thread. The internal thread lets it screw directly onto a male stud, adapter or gauge port without needing a separate male adaptor, and every threaded part in this catalogue is supplied with sealant already on the PT thread so the joint seals on assembly.
Push the 10 mm tube into the chuck and it grips for a hand-tight, wrench-free joint; press the POM release ring and the tube slides back out for rework. This is the resin and brass spec profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum capability, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and a -20 to +70 C temperature window. The elbow body is PBT on a brass stud, with a POM button and chuck, an aluminium-alloy guide, a stainless spring gasket and an NBR seal.

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 PLF L-Shaped Female Thread Adapter PLF1001 Is Used
Cylinder port under a tight guard
On a packaging machine where the guard skin sits close to the cylinder head, a straight fitting fouls the sheet. The PLF1001 drops the 10 mm line straight down from the 1/8in port so the cover closes without a spacer or re-bent tubing.
Threaded valve outlet on a textile line
Speed-control valves on loom and spinning frames usually present a male thread at the outlet. This female elbow screws directly onto that thread and turns the Dia 10 supply toward the duct run instead of out over the operator aisle.
Test-bench plumbing between panels
On a leak-test bench where instruments are panel-mounted on male studs, the 1/8in female thread mates to each instrument and the elbow turns the 10 mm polyurethane line along the frame edge, keeping the bench front clear.
Is the Airtac PLF L-Shaped Female Thread Adapter PLF1001 the Right Part?
This is the Dia 10 rung of the PLF ladder. The step down is PLF801 on Dia 8 tube - a smaller bore and lower air delivery, right for compact actuators - while the step up is PLF1201 on Dia 12 tube, which carries the heaviest flow on this thread and suits larger cylinders. Match the tube first: the chuck grips exactly Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane, so a nominal 3/8in tube at 10.5 mm or any imperial OD will not seal and must not be forced in.
Pick a female elbow over a male elbow when the mating port is itself male - a threaded cylinder boss, a flow-control valve stem or a threaded manifold stud - because the fitting drops straight onto it. If you need the elbow to reach further clear of the panel, the PLL extended male elbow family is the alternative shape to check.
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 PLF L-Shaped Female Thread Adapter PLF1001 FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8in PT female thread, and it is a resin-and-brass one-touch fitting, not a metal BP-family part.
No. Every threaded one-touch part in this catalogue arrives with sealant pre-applied to the PT thread, so it seals straight into a male port. The thread standard across the range is PT, so check your port is not a parallel G-thread before ordering, and remember the 10 mm tube engages the same way every time - push it fully home to the stop for a rated joint.
