The AirTAC Airtac PLL L-Type Extended Thread Connector PLL1004 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 PLL1004 is AirTAC's PLL extended male elbow in the Dia 10 mm / 1/4in PT combination. It turns an incoming 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube through 90 degrees onto a male 1/4in PT port, and the extended body holds the elbow head further out from the thread than the standard PL, so the tube runs clear of the port face. Connection is one-touch: push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it under the stainless spring gasket; press the release ring and it slides free.
This is the resin and brass profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. The elbow body is PBT on a brass stud, the O-ring is NBR, and the male thread arrives with sealant already applied, so no extra tape is needed on assembly.

On a packaging machine's indexing dial, the cylinder port often sits close to the turntable housing. The extended 1/4in thread of the PLL1004 lifts the elbow clear so the 10 mm tube can run down along the machine frame without rubbing.
Gripper cylinders on a palletizer wrist move through tight guard envelopes. An extended male elbow at the port points the tube along the arm and the pre-sealed PT thread means no tape debris inside the valve circuit.
When a clamping cylinder is bolted behind a thick fixture plate, a short male thread never reaches. The PLL1004's extended engagement spans the plate depth and the 90-degree head turns the 10 mm feed toward the supply line.
On the 1/4in PT thread the tube neighbours are PLL802 below (Dia 8) and PLL1204 above (Dia 12); stepping down lightens the loop for smaller actuators, stepping up feeds larger bores with lower restriction. If the thread is what changes instead, Dia 10 also exists as PLL1001 (1/8in), PLL1003 (3/8in) and PLL1004D's grey standard here in 1/2in as PLL1004 with a 04 code - match the port, not the tube.
Tube OD must match exactly: this fitting holds 10 mm tube only and will not grip 3/8in (about 9.5 mm) hose. Choose the extended PLL shape over the standard PL whenever the port sits behind a bracket or beside a wall, because the extra length keeps the elbow head and the tube bend out of the obstruction.
Quick checklist
It joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4in PT male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and the operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The body is PBT with a brass stud and NBR O-ring.
The PLL thread is longer, which does two jobs: it gives a deeper, more secure engagement in the port and it spaces the elbow head away from the mounting surface, so the tube can exit downward or sideways without kinking against the machine. Both PL and PLL use the same one-touch chuck and release ring; only the reach differs.
