About the Airtac PLF L-Shaped Female Thread Adapter PLF802D
The PLF802D is an AirTAC PLF female elbow, a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/4in PT female thread. The internal thread lets you screw the fitting straight onto a male stud or port without an extra nipple, and the 90 degree body points the tubing sideways or upward from the port face.
Push the tube firmly into the chuck and the stainless spring gasket grips it for a pressure-tight seal; press the POM release ring and the tube slides straight out for rework. The 02D code here means the 1/4in female thread in the D version, which on the PLF series changes the body itself to black rather than just the button. This is the resin and brass profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -20 to +70 C.

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 PLF802D Is Used
Control panel valve islands
Screw the 1/4in female thread directly onto the outlet stud of a manifold-mounted valve on a bottling line, then run Dia 8 tubing off at 90 degrees along the panel wall instead of out over neighbouring valves.
Pneumatic press cylinder ports
On a small pneumatic press or clamping fixture, the female elbow threads straight onto the cylinder's male port and points the Dia 8 supply line back toward the guard, clearing the tooling above the ram.
Lab actuator hookups
Test rigs and laboratory automation often mount compact actuators against a backplate; the PLF802D lets the Dia 8 air line exit sideways so the tubing clears the mounting bolts, and releases quickly when the rig is reconfigured.
Is the Airtac PLF L-Shaped Female Thread Adapter PLF802D the Right Part?
Within the 1/4in thread ladder, PLF602 steps down to Dia 6 tube and PLF1002 steps up to Dia 10; the bore change matters for line velocity and for matching the tube already run on the machine. You can also step the thread instead: PLF801 takes Dia 8 into 1/8in and PLF803 into 3/8in. Before ordering, check the port you are screwing onto - the female thread of this elbow needs a male stud with a matching PT profile.
Tube OD must match exactly: this fitting holds Dia 8 mm tube only and will not grip 5/16in imperial tube even though the two are close in size. If the port sits behind a bracket too tight for any elbow, a PHF universal female elbow swivels to any angle instead; if the tube must pass through a panel, a PMF bulkhead connector is the right shape. The 1/4in thread arrives with sealant pre-applied, so no PTFE tape is needed on installation.
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 PLF802D FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. This SKU joins Dia 8 mm tube to a 1/4in PT female thread in the black D body version, with POM chuck, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring. Suitable tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane.
On the PLF series the D suffix changes the fitting body to black; on straight PC and POC connectors it only alters the release button, so do not assume the same across the range. Everything else - the Dia 8 tube bore, the 1/4in female PT thread, and all pressure and temperature ratings - is identical to the grey PLF802.
