About the Airtac PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF1003D
The PMF1003D is an AirTAC PMF bulkhead connector in black, sized for Dia 10 mm tubing and a 3/8in PT male port. Its job is to carry an air line through a panel or machine wall: the threaded stud passes through the hole, the locknut (M20x1 on Dia 10) clamps it to the panel, and the one-touch socket sits on each side ready to grip tube. On the PMF series the D suffix recolours the body itself, so the fitting stays black rather than the standard grey.
Connection is genuinely one-touch: push the 10 mm tube into the socket and the internal chuck, backed by a stainless spring gasket, grips it immediately; press the release ring and the tube slides free. This is the resin/brass profile, so it runs at 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, holds -750 mmHg vacuum, proofs at 1.5 MPa and works from -20 to +70 C. The 3/8in thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals straight into a PT port.

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 PMF1003D Is Used
Control cabinet feed-through
Mounted in the wall of an electrical enclosure on a packaging machine, the PMF1003D brings a 10 mm supply line out of the dirty pneumatics zone and into the clean cabinet side, with the M20x1 locknut holding it firm against the sheet-metal panel.
Conveyor stop-gate supply
A Dia 10 line feeding a gate cylinder on a bottling conveyor often has to cross a guarding plate. A bulkhead connector gives a rigid, releasable joint at the plate instead of dragging tube through a grommet, so the gate assembly can be unbolted without cutting hose.
Valve manifold outlet
Where a 3/8in PT outlet on a solenoid manifold must deliver air to a 10 mm trunk line running to a press-side actuator, this connector bolts through the manifold mounting plate and turns the port into a plug-in tube station.
Is the Airtac PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF1003D the Right Part?
Step down to PMF803 for 8 mm tube or up to PMF1203 for 12 mm - both are standard on this series. The 10 mm bore is the sweet spot for supplying a mid-size valve manifold or a group of actuators; at 8 mm you trade capacity, at 12 mm you gain it, but the panel hole and locknut size change with the bore. If your port is 1/4in take PMF1002, and for a 1/2in port take PMF1004. M5 is not offered on PMF, so a small threaded port needs a different family.
Tube OD must match exactly: this socket holds 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane only. It will not seal 3/8in tube, which is 9.5 mm OD and a common trap when converting from imperial systems.
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 PMF1003D FAQ
It joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 3/8in PT male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum capability is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The bulkhead locknut thread is M20x1 and the PT thread comes with sealant pre-applied.
Drill the panel to suit the M20x1 locknut, slip the threaded stud through from the front, and tighten the locknut behind the panel - the fitting is then fixed and takes tube on either side without twisting the port. Because the tube socket is on the connector body rather than the locknut, you can service the tubing later without touching the panel hardware.
