About the Airtac PLM Right Angle Bulkhead Fitting PLM10
The PLM10 is an AirTAC PLM bulkhead male elbow, the resin one-touch fitting made to pass through a panel, guard or machine wall. On the front it accepts Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube; on the back a PT male thread picks up the supply line. An M20x1 locknut clamps the body to the wall, so the plumbing stays fixed even when the tube is moved or released.
Connection is a true push-fit: the Dia 10 tube slides into the socket until the internal chuck grips it, and the stainless spring gasket plus NBR O-ring seal it immediately. Pressing the POM release ring with a fingertip frees the tube again. This is the resin/brass spec profile, rated 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C, with the body moulded in grey PBT.

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 PLM Right Angle Bulkhead Fitting PLM10 Is Used
Control cabinet wall feed
Mount the PLM10 through the side wall of a palletiser control cabinet so the Dia 10 main-air line stays outside while the PT thread on the back meets the shutoff valve inside - no loose tube crossing the boundary.
Pick-and-place backplate
On an electronics assembly pick-and-place module, bolt the elbow through the module backplate and run Dia 10 tube down to the gripper manifold, keeping the drop protected behind the plate.
Conveyor junction box outlet
On a bottling line conveyor, use the 90-degree outlet as a tidy tube exit from a junction box mounted on the frame, with the M20x1 locknut carrying the mechanical load instead of the tube.
Is the Airtac PLM Right Angle Bulkhead Fitting PLM10 the Right Part?
Neighbours on this ladder are PLM8 (Dia 8 mm) and PLM12 (Dia 12 mm). Dropping to PLM8 gives a slimmer bore suited to smaller actuator feeds and leaves you on an M16x1 locknut; stepping up to PLM12 is the top of the resin bulkhead range, with an M22x1 locknut and a wider wall cut-out. Match the size to the circuit bore, not just the hole in the panel.
The fitting is an elbow by design, so tube exits at 90 degrees off the wall instead of straight out - useful when the panel sits close to machine framing. Whatever you choose, the tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 10 socket will not seal or hold 3/8 in (9.5 mm) or 12 mm hose, and forcing a mismatch is the usual cause of blow-off under pressure.
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 PLM Right Angle Bulkhead Fitting PLM10 FAQ
It takes Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube, carries an M20x1 bulkhead locknut and a PT male thread behind the panel. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr) and temperature -20 to +70 C. The body is grey PBT as standard and the sealing set is a stainless spring gasket with an NBR O-ring.
No - the socket is cut for 10 mm outside diameter tube only, so nominal 3/8 in hose at about 9.5 mm OD will not grip or seal. Use true Dia 10 tubing. AirTAC publishes panel thickness limits per size in the PLM dimension table rather than as a general figure, so check the drawing for your wall before drilling for the M20x1 locknut.
