The AirTAC Airtac PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF1002 is a genuine bulkhead connector for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PMF is AirTAC's bulkhead connector in its female-elbow form: a Dia 10 one-touch socket for soft nylon or polyurethane tube on the tube side, and a female 1/4in PT port on the underside for a threaded connection. The fitting passes through a panel or machine wall and is clamped by a locknut, so the pneumatic circuit crosses the barrier without the tube ever being squeezed or routed through a drilled edge.
This is the resin and brass one-touch line, not the metal BP family: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum down to -750 mmHg, and a service temperature of -20 to +70 C. To connect, push the Dia 10 tube square into the socket until it bottoms; the internal chuck grips it against pressure. Pressing the POM release ring frees the tube again. The female thread arrives with sealant already applied, so the 1/4in port seals on assembly without extra tape.

Mount the PMF1002 through the wall of a packaging machine's electrical cabinet so the 1/4in valve-manifold port stays inside with the wiring, while the Dia 10 tube exits cleanly at 90 degrees to feed vacuum ejectors and bag-clamp cylinders outside.
On adhesive or coating dispensing stations, the valve stack often lives in a sealed splash enclosure. This bulkhead elbow carries the Dia 10 supply line through the enclosure wall, with the M20x1 locknut taking the mechanical load instead of the tube.
Where a clamping cylinder sits behind a fixed sheet-metal guard, route the Dia 10 feed through the guard panel with this fitting; the female 1/4in thread beneath the panel connects directly to the cylinder port or a short nipple, keeping the guarded zone free of loose tube.
Step down to Dia 8 for lighter actuator circuits such as small grippers or signal-air drops; step up to Dia 12 when the same pass-through must feed a larger cylinder or air tool with less pressure loss along the run. On the thread side, 1/8in and 3/8in female ports exist in this family if your manifold or valve outlet differs. Whatever you choose, the tube outside diameter must match the socket exactly - a Dia 10 PMF will not seal on 12 mm or 3/8in tube.
Plan the panel cut-out around the locknut, not the body: for Dia 10 tube the bulkhead locknut thread is M20x1, a figure that is easy to miss when ordering a plain grommet instead. If the tube needs to run parallel to the panel rather than at right angles through it, a PL male elbow or PV union elbow is the better shape; the PMF earns its keep only where a genuine barrier crossing is needed.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. The fitting accepts Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on the one-touch side and provides a female 1/4in PT thread, with an M20x1 bulkhead locknut for panel mounting. Body and threaded parts are PBT with a brass locknut and stud, and the release button and chuck are POM with an NBR seal.
Drill the panel for the M20x1 locknut thread, slip the fitting through from the tube side, and tighten the locknut from the far face until the unit is clamped rigid. The 1/4in PT female thread comes from the factory with sealant applied, so a firm spanner-tight assembly normally seals without added tape - check the sealant is intact first. Finally, insert the Dia 10 tube squarely until it stops; cutting the tube cleanly and square matters here, because a nicked or oval end is the usual cause of a one-touch joint weeping at pressure.
