The AirTAC Airtac PM Panel Mount Straight Coupling PM10 is a genuine bulkhead union for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PM10 is an AirTAC PM bulkhead union: a straight tube-to-tube one-touch fitting with no external thread at all. Both ends accept Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube, and the fitting is held in a drilled panel hole by a locknut threaded M20x1, so air passes cleanly from one side of a wall or enclosure to the other without a threaded port in between.
Push each tube firmly into its chuck and the internal stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring seal it instantly; press the POM release ring to free the tube again. This is the standard resin one-touch profile, not the metal BPC line: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure (0-10 kgf/cm2), -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The grey body arrives with no thread sealant needed because there is no thread to seal.

Mounted through the wall of an electrical cabinet on a packaging machine, the PM10 carries a Dia 10 supply line inside to the valve manifold without drilling an extra threaded port or breaking the panel's sealing gasket.
Rated to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), the PM10 feeds Dia 10 suction tube from a vacuum generator mounted outside a machine guard to cups handling cartons or sheet material, with the union clamped at the guard wall.
On a filling or tray-sealing line, the bulkhead union lets the Dia 10 air line enter a wet or hosed-down zone through a single sealed hole, so the PBT body and NBR seals stay outside the splash area where service access is easier.
Step down to PM8 for an M16x1 locknut and a Dia 8 line feeding smaller actuators or lighter vacuum cups; step up to PM12 for an M22x1 locknut and a Dia 12 trunk that carries noticeably more volume to a manifold or large cylinder. Bore is the lever: the Dia 10 bore of the PM10 sits in the middle of that ladder, so match it to your existing tube rather than upsizing on a guess.
Tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 10 chuck will not reliably grip 3/8 in (9.5 mm) tube even though the difference is under a millimetre. If you need a threaded connection instead of a panel pass-through, that is a job for a male connector such as the PC or POC range, not this union.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2); negative pressure to -750 mmHg (10 Torr); proof pressure 1.5 MPa; operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The PM10 is a bulkhead union joining two Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubes, retained by an M20x1 bulkhead locknut. It uses the standard resin one-touch profile: POM release ring and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring.
AirTAC publishes the locknut thread as M20x1 for Dia 10 parts like the PM10; drill the clearance hole to suit that locknut rather than to the fitting body, and tighten by feel - no torque figure is published. On tube: the Dia 10 chuck grips only 10 mm OD soft nylon or polyurethane tube. A 3/8 in tube measures about 9.5 mm and will not seal properly, so keep the whole line metric and consistent.
