The AirTAC Airtac PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF1202 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 AirTAC PMF1202 is a bulkhead female connector from the PMF series: it passes through a hole in a panel or machine wall, is clamped from behind by its locknut, and presents a female 1/4in PT thread on the outboard face. The tube side takes Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing, and the locknut thread for this tube size is M22x1.
Like every PMF, it is a one-touch part: push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket plus POM chuck grip it under spring load; press the POM release ring and the tube slides free. It runs on the resin-brass profile - 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The body is PBT with a brass stud, and the 1/4in thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals against the panel-side port without extra tape.

Mount the PMF1202 in the side wall of an electrical enclosure on a packaging machine so the 12mm air main terminates outside as a 1/4in female thread; interior wiring stays clear of fittings and the line can be disconnected at the panel face.
Fit it through the guard plate of a rotary indexing table so maintenance staff can plug in a hose or gauge from outside the guarded zone, with the Dia 12 supply line routed on the safe side.
Use the -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum rating to carry suction lines from a depaneling head through the machine frame, terminating in a female 1/4in port where the vacuum generator or gauge is mounted.
Dia 12 is the top of the PMF tube ladder - the step down is Dia 10, which drops to an M20x1 locknut and suits lighter lines such as a single gripper feed. There is nothing above Dia 12 in this series, so a larger bore means moving to a different fitting family. On the thread side, PMF1202 sits between 1/8in below and 3/8in above; pick the thread to match the male port or gauge you are fitting on the outboard face, not the tubing size.
Choose a bulkhead female shape when air must cross a barrier and terminate in a demountable connection - you can then screw a short male nipple, gauge or blanking plug into the PMF from outside without opening the enclosure. The tube OD must match exactly: this fitting holds Dia 12 mm tube and will not seal on 1/2in (12.7 mm) imperial hose.
Quick checklist
Tube size Dia 12 mm, outboard thread 1/4in PT female, panel locknut M22x1. Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Body PBT with brass stud, POM release button and chuck, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring. Suitable tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane.
Yes - that is the point of the female bulkhead form. Once the fitting is locked through the panel, the 1/4in PT female face accepts any matching male thread; the thread comes with sealant pre-applied from the factory. Just remember the connection is only as good as the port you mate it to, and the tube side must stay Dia 12 mm exactly.
