About the Airtac PLF L-Shaped Female Thread Adapter PLF602
The PLF602 is an AirTAC PLF female elbow from the resin one-touch range: it joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4in PT female thread, turning the air path through 90 degrees. Push the tube into the chuck and it grips for a pressure-tight seal; press the POM release ring and the tube slides free for rework or re-routing. Because the port thread is female, the fitting bolts flush against the mating component with no protruding male stud to foul adjacent parts.
This is the standard resin profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa and a working temperature of -20 to +70 C. The body is PBT with a brass stud assembly, a POM release button and chuck, an aluminium-alloy guide, a stainless spring gasket and an NBR O-ring. The thread arrives from the factory pre-coated with sealant, so it can be screwed straight onto a tapped PT port.

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 PLF602 Is Used
Solenoid valve outlet on a bottling line
The 1/4in female port screws directly onto the valve's threaded outlet, and the flush female face avoids the stud overhang a male connector would add between closely pitched valves on the manifold.
Wrist of a pick-and-place gripper
The 90-degree turn sends the Dia 6 line along the gripper arm instead of straight out of the actuator port, keeping the flexible tube clear of the part-holding jaws through every cycle.
Textile machine take-up cylinder behind fixed guarding
A low-profile elbow at the cylinder port lets the air line drop vertically behind the machine guard, where a straight connector would foul the sheet metal every time the cylinder strokes.
Is the Airtac PLF L-Shaped Female Thread Adapter PLF602 the Right Part?
On the tube side you sit between the PLF402 (Dia 4) below and the PLF802 (Dia 8) above. Stepping down to Dia 4 trims air demand for small grippers and pilot lines; stepping up to Dia 8 reduces restriction feeding larger cylinders or longer runs. On the thread side, Dia 6 is also offered at 1/8in (PLF601) and 3/8in (PLF603) on this prefix, so match the elbow to the tapped port you actually have rather than adapting with bushes. If the fitting must swivel to align, choose the PH universal elbow instead; if you need a male stud rather than a female port, the PL602 is the direct counterpart.
One hard rule: the chuck is sized for a 6.0 mm outside diameter and nothing else. A 1/4in imperial tube measures 6.35 mm and will not seal or release correctly, so always pair this part with tubing marked Dia 6.
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 PLF602 FAQ
It is a resin one-touch female elbow joining Dia 6 mm tube to a 1/4in PT female thread. Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Body PBT with a brass stud, POM release button and chuck, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring. Standard colour is grey; the D suffix orders a black body.
No. The chuck and spring gasket are cut for an exact 6.0 mm outside diameter, while 1/4in tube measures 6.35 mm, so it will neither seal nor release properly. Use genuine Dia 6 metric tubing, or move to a fitting sized for the imperial tube if that is what your machine is plumbed with.
