About the Airtac PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF1003
The PMF1003 is an AirTAC PMF bulkhead connector in the female-thread version, made to carry a Dia 10 mm tube through a machine wall or control-cabinet panel. The tube side is a one-touch socket: push the soft nylon or polyurethane tube home and the internal chuck grips it for a pressure-tight seal, while a release ring frees it again when you need to rework the line. The service side is a 3/8in PT internal thread, and the whole fitting is clamped to the panel by a locknut.
This is a resin-line fitting, so it follows the standard resin spec profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, usable down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and a -20 to +70 C temperature window. The body is PBT with a brass stud, the chuck and release button are POM, and the O-ring is NBR. The thread arrives with sealant already applied. A detail worth knowing before you cut the hole: the bulkhead locknut for a Dia 10 body is M20x1, so drill for that nut, not for the fitting barrel.

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 PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF1003 Is Used
Control cabinet wall feed
Mount the PMF1003 through the side wall of a machine control cabinet and take a Dia 10 nylon line from the FRL inside to a 3/8in ported distribution manifold outside, keeping pneumatic and electrical wiring separated.
Vacuum forming clamp ring
On a vacuum-forming or thermoforming machine, route the Dia 10 polyurethane line to the clamp-frame seal through a bulkhead so the tubing never chafes on the moving platen edge.
Trailer-mounted air tool supply
Bulkhead-mount the fitting in the steel side of a service-truck or mobile-workshop body to give a protected 3/8in female outlet for the reel-supplied Dia 10 line feeding impact wrenches and chucks.
Is the Airtac PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF1003 the Right Part?
Within the PMF ladder this SKU sits one step above Dia 8 and one step below Dia 12. Stepping down to Dia 8 saves panel space and suits lighter air demand but halves the bore area, so long runs or big cylinders will feel the restriction; stepping up to Dia 12 buys margin for higher-flow branches at the cost of a larger panel cutout. Keep the whole branch on one tube OD where you can, because a Dia 10 socket will not hold 3/8in (8 mm) hose - the OD must match exactly.
Match the 3/8in PT female port to a male-threaded manifold stud or valve port of the same nominal size. If the port is 1/4in, take the PMF in the 02 thread code instead; if you need a threaded outlet rather than a female one, the PM bulkhead union or PLM bulkhead male elbow is the better shape. Note that M5 is not offered anywhere in the PMF series, so small-panel users must step up to at least the smaller metric tubes.
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 PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF1003 FAQ
The PMF1003 is a PMF bulkhead female connector for Dia 10 mm tube with a 3/8in PT internal thread and an M20x1 bulkhead locknut. Working pressure is 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure goes to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It accepts soft nylon or polyurethane tubing only.
Drill the panel for the M20x1 locknut that suits the Dia 10 body, insert the fitting, and tighten the nut from the outside. The 3/8in PT thread comes pre-coated with sealant, so no extra tape is needed on a new part. To connect, cut the Dia 10 tube square, push it firmly into the socket until it bottoms, and it locks; press the release ring to withdraw it. Use only soft nylon or polyurethane tube - rigid pipe will not seal.
