About the Airtac PLF L-Shaped Female Thread Adapter PLF801
The PLF801 is an AirTAC PLF female elbow from the resin one-touch fitting range. It accepts Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on the push-in side and presents a 1/8 in PT internal (female) thread on the other leg, set at 90 degrees so the tube can run away vertically or horizontally from the port. Because the thread is female, the fitting screws down over a male stud or threaded port rather than into a tapped hole - useful where the mating hardware is already in place and you do not want to add external thread to it.
Connection is genuinely one-touch: push the 8 mm tube straight in and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it against the NBR O-ring for a sealed joint; press the POM release ring and the tube slides free. This resin profile is rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure (vacuum to -750 mmHg), 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -20 to +70 C. The body is PBT with a brass stud, and AirTAC ships threaded parts with sealant already applied to the thread, so it is ready to wind in.

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 PLF801 Is Used
Manifold ports on a control panel
Screws onto a 1/8 in male-stud manifold inside a machine electrical cabinet, turning the airflow 90 degrees so 8 mm drops can be routed cleanly down the din rail instead of fouling the wiring duct.
Pilot feed on a packaging machine valve island
Takes 8 mm polyurethane pilot line off the side of a solenoid valve body where a straight connector would crash into the adjacent valve, keeping the valve spacing unchanged.
Small pneumatic press cylinder connection
Mounts on the rear head port of a compact bore cylinder under a tight guard, letting the 8 mm nylon supply exit upward where the guard clearance is greatest.
Is the Airtac PLF L-Shaped Female Thread Adapter PLF801 the Right Part?
In the Dia 8 position you are at the workhorse centre of the PLF ladder. Step down to Dia 6 for light-duty pilot and signal lines where the smaller bore keeps air velocity up in short runs; step up to Dia 10 when feeding larger actuators or longer legs where pressure drop through the bore starts to matter. The fitting only holds the tube size it is coded for - a Dia 8 chuck will not seal on 5/16 in or 1/4 in tube, so measure the OD before ordering. On the port side, the next female thread up in the family is 1/4 in (PLF802); stay with 1/8 in only when the mating stud or port is genuinely 1/8 in PT. If the port points the wrong way for a straight run, this elbow shape is the fix - or use the PMF bulkhead version if the line has to pass through a panel wall.
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 PLF801 FAQ
It is a PLF female elbow one-touch fitting for Dia 8 mm tube with a 1/8 in PT female thread. Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. It accepts soft nylon or polyurethane tube. Construction: PBT body with brass stud, POM release ring, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring.
No. AirTAC supplies threaded one-touch fittings with sealant already applied to the thread, so the 1/8 in female PT leg can be screwed straight onto a male stud or port. Note that M5 sizes in this catalogue use a sealing gasket instead - that does not apply here. On the tube side, no tape or inserts are ever needed: the push-in chuck seals itself, and the same release ring lets you reposition the tube later.
