The AirTAC Airtac PLL L-Type Extended Thread Connector PLL1001D 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 PLL1001D is an AirTAC PLL extended male elbow, a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8in PT male thread at a right angle. The extended male thread gives more standoff and engagement than the standard PL elbow, so the tube clears the mounting face instead of kinking against it. The D suffix makes the body black, and on the PLL series that colour change applies to the body itself, not just the release button.
Installation is push-in: square-cut the tube, push it fully home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it against the POM seal for a leak-tight joint; press the release ring to free it. This is the resin/brass spec profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The male thread arrives with sealant applied, so no extra tape or paste is needed.

On a pneumatic gripper arm, the 90 degree body with an extended stud keeps Dia 10 supply tube clear of the wrist casting, avoiding a crushed radius at the joint each time the wrist rotates.
Screw the 1/8in PT male thread straight into a solenoid valve outlet on a bottling or packaging machine manifold, and turn the air 90 degrees into the drop line to the actuator without an extra union.
Behind sheet-metal guards where a straight connector cannot be reached, the extended elbow positions the Dia 10 tube where the release ring is still accessible for service.
This is the largest tube bore AirTAC offers on a PLL with a 1/8in thread - the ladder for this series stops at Dia 10 on 1/8in, so there is no PLL1201 above it. Stepping down to a PLL801 gets you a Dia 8 fitting with the same thread and a slightly smaller envelope; if your line is Dia 12 tube, move up to a PLL1202 on a 1/4in port instead. Thread choice follows the port, not the tube: match the 1/8in PT stud to a 1/8in tapped port and seal on the pre-applied thread coating.
Choose the extended shape over the standard PL elbow when the fitting sits behind a guard, a manifold face or a bracket, and the tube needs to stand off the wall to make its bend. Whichever size you pick, tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 10 chuck will not seal on 3/8in (10 mm nominal is close but not interchangeable with inch tube).
Quick checklist
It is a PLL extended male elbow one-touch fitting with Dia 10 mm tube connection and a 1/8in PT male thread, black body. Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It is rated for soft nylon or polyurethane tube, and the male thread ships with sealant applied.
No. The chuck and seal set is sized for Dia 10 mm tube only, and an undersized or oversized tube will not seal. Also note that on the PLL series 1/8in is the last thread size that takes Dia 10, so PLL1001D is the top of this bore; for Dia 12 tube you need a PLL1202 with a 1/4in male thread on the matching port.
