About the Airtac PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF601
The PMF601 is an AirTAC PMF bulkhead connector, the female elbow of the one-touch range. It pushes a Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube straight into the chuck, while the 1/8in PT female thread on the elbow side takes a male stud or nipple on the other. Because the body is a bulkhead elbow, it passes through a hole in a panel or machine wall and is clamped from behind with a locknut, so the tubing is handled outside the enclosure and the pneumatic connection is made inside. For a Dia 6 bulkhead the locknut thread is M14x1, which is worth knowing before you cut the panel hole.
This is the resin and brass one-touch profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The release button and chuck are POM, the guide is aluminium alloy, the spring gasket is stainless and the O-ring is NBR, with a brass stud carrying the female thread. Threaded portions arrive with sealant already applied, so no extra tape is needed at the 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 PMF601 Is Used
Bottle-filling line control cabinet
Mount the PMF601 through the back wall of the filler's pneumatic cabinet: the Dia 6 tube runs to the outside logic, and the 1/8in female thread inside accepts the stud feeding the filler valve manifold.
Automotive weld fixture clamp circuit
On a fixture where the clamp valve sits behind a guard plate, the bulkhead elbow crosses the plate in one hole and its M14x1 locknut holds it rigid against vibration from the clamp actuator.
Small-parts vacuum feeder
The -750 mmHg vacuum rating lets this elbow serve the pickup head of a vibratory parts feeder, with the Dia 6 vacuum tube routed neatly outside the feeder housing through the panel mount.
Is the Airtac PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF601 the Right Part?
On the PMF ladder at 1/8in thread, the PMF601 sits between the PMF401 (Dia 4 tube, M12x1 locknut) below and the PMF801 (Dia 8 tube, M16x1 locknut) above. Stepping down shrinks the bore and the air you can move per pulse but suits compact curtain-edge and sensor lines; stepping up to Dia 8 feeds short-stroke cylinders with less restriction. If you want to step the port instead of the tube, the same Dia 6 tube is offered with a 1/4in female thread as the PMF602.
Choose a bulkhead shape only when tubing must cross a fixed wall: the fitting replaces a bulk pass-through plus a separate elbow, and the tube can be released from outside without reaching behind the panel. Match the tube OD exactly - a Dia 6 chuck will not grip 1/4in (6.35 mm) imperial tube, and near-miss sizes are the commonest cause of a weeping one-touch joint.
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 PMF601 FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8in PT female thread, and the bulkhead locknut for Dia 6 is M14x1. This is the resin and brass one-touch profile, not the 0.9 MPa / 150 C metal BP line.
No extra sealing is required: AirTAC ships threaded one-touch parts with sealant already applied to the thread (only M5 sizes use a sealing gasket instead, which does not apply here). The tube must be exactly Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane; the stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring grip and seal that OD only, so imperial 1/4in tube will not seat.
