The AirTAC Airtac PLL L-Type Extended Thread Connector PLL1001 is a genuine extended male elbow for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PLL1001 is an AirTAC PLL extended male elbow in the resin one-touch range. It takes Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube and screws it onto a 1/8 in PT male thread. What separates a PLL from a plain PL is the longer threaded stud: the elbow body stands further off the port, leaving room for a wrench and for the hose to leave the fitting at a clean right angle.
This is the resin/brass spec profile, not the metal line. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it holds -750 mmHg (10 Torr) of vacuum, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa and the temperature window is -20 to +70 C. The body on threaded PL parts is PBT over a brass stud, with a POM release button, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and an NBR seal. The PT thread arrives with sealant already applied; press the tube in until it bottoms out, the chuck grips it, and the release ring frees it again when you need it back.

On a gantry pick-and-place arm the cylinder port often sits recessed behind a frame member. The PLL1001's extended stud stands the elbow clear of the boss, so the Dia 10 hose leaves at 90 degrees without fouling the guarding.
Hold-down clamps along a palletizer conveyor frame usually run Dia 10 hose. This elbow turns the line down along the rail at the actuator, and the 1/8 in PT thread matches the small tapped port typical of compact clamp cylinders.
Sealing-jaw cylinders on a carton sealer sit in cramped pockets where a straight connector cannot be tightened. The long 1/8 in stud of the PLL1001 leaves room to hold the flats with a wrench before the hose is pushed home.
On a 1/8 in PT port the PLL ladder runs Dia 4, 6, 8, 10 - so PLL1001 is the largest tube an extended elbow carries on that thread. Step down one size and the PLL801 gives you a Dia 8 bore for lighter lines; if the machine moves to Dia 12 tubing you must also step the port up, which points you at the PLL1002 or PLL1202 on 1/4 in. And note the top of the range: a 1/2 in PLL only exists from Dia 10 upward, so this same tube size appears again on the bigger threads rather than vanishing.
Match the thread to the port, not the hose - the 1/8 in PT male stud here suits small cylinder ports and manifold taps. If you actually need to pass through a panel wall, the bulkhead male elbow PLM is the right shape instead. Whichever you pick, the tube OD must match the fitting exactly: a Dia 10 chuck will not reliably hold 8 mm or 12 mm tube, and there is no half-size to fudge with.
Quick checklist
It is an AirTAC PLL extended male elbow one-touch fitting for Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube with a 1/8 in PT male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure capability is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa and the operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C. Standard body colour is grey.
Both turn Dia 10 tube through 90 degrees, but the PLL's longer male stud stands the body further off the port. That gives your wrench somewhere to sit when tightening the sealant-coated 1/8 in PT thread, keeps the release ring accessible in tight spaces, and lets the hose clear raised bosses or panel edges instead of bending hard against them. For ports behind a closed panel wall you would still want the bulkhead PLM shape rather than either elbow.
