About the Airtac PLM Right Angle Bulkhead Fitting PLM6D
The AirTAC PLM6D is a black bulkhead union elbow in the one-touch fitting family. It joins two Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubes at 90 degrees and carries the assembly through a panel or cabinet wall, clamped by its M14x1 locknut. Push each tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the release ring and the tube slides free.
This is the resin-and-brass one-touch profile: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a -20 to +70 C temperature range. The POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide and NBR O-ring sit behind a black PBT body - on this series the D suffix changes the whole body colour, not just the button as it does on PC and POC.

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 PLM6D Is Used
Control cabinet pass-through
Mount the PLM6D through the wall of a printing or packaging machine's electrical cabinet so one Dia 6 feed enters outside and one Dia 6 line distributes inside, with the M14x1 locknut sealing the hole instead of a grommet.
Robotic pick-and-place manifold
On a gantry or robot arm where the vacuum ejector supply crosses a frame member, the black bulkhead elbow parks a 90-degree tube turn flush to the surface and keeps Dia 6 lines from snagging on moving guards.
Lab pick-and-hold fixture
The -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum rating makes the PLM6D a tidy way to bring a Dia 6 suction line through the baseplate of a small laboratory holding fixture, turning the run upward toward the cup.
Is the Airtac PLM Right Angle Bulkhead Fitting PLM6D the Right Part?
Step down to PLM4 if the line you are panel-mounting feeds a small pilot or signal circuit - it takes Dia 4 tube and drops to an M12x1 locknut. Step up to PLM8 for a main supply run at Dia 8, which moves to an M16x1 locknut and a larger panel cutout. PLM6D sits in the middle of that ladder, the common bore for cylinder and valve manifold feed lines.
Because both sides are tube-only, decide the panel location by where the two tube runs meet - the elbow lets the incoming line rise vertically while the outgoing line turns along the panel. Tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 6 PLM will not seal on 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) or 5/16 inch (8 mm) tube, so measure before ordering.
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 PLM6D FAQ
It is a bulkhead union elbow for Dia 6 mm tube with an M14x1 locknut for panel mounting. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It runs soft nylon or polyurethane tubing in the standard grey-free black (D) finish.
No. AirTAC rates these one-touch fittings for soft nylon and polyurethane tubing only. Rigid or semi-rigid tube will not let the stainless spring gasket and chuck seat properly, and the seal relies on the NBR O-ring gripping a true Dia 6 mm outside diameter - anything 6.2 mm or 6.35 mm risks a slow leak.
