The AirTAC Airtac PMF Female Thread Bulkhead Straight Through Fitting PMF802D 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 PMF802D is an AirTAC PMF bulkhead connector in the resin one-touch range, sized for Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube with a 1/4" PT male thread. Its job is to carry an air line through a sheet-metal wall: the threaded stud passes through the panel, the locknut (M16x1 on this Dia 8 size) clamps it from the far side, and the one-touch socket on the outside face takes the tube. The D suffix gives this series a black body, since on PMF the colour code changes the body itself rather than only the release button.
Connection is a genuine push-fit: push the 8 mm tube straight into the chuck until it seats, and the stainless spring gasket and POM chuck grip it under a PBT/brass body with an NBR O-ring doing the seal. Pull the release ring to free the tube. This is the resin spec profile, not the metal BPC line: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum capability, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and a -20 to +70 C service window. Threaded studs arrive with pre-applied sealant, so no additional tape or compound is needed on the 1/4" port.

Mount PMF802D through the side wall of a cartoner's electrical cabinet so the 1/4" valve manifold stays inside while the Dia 8 feed to the sealing-jaw cylinder is made up outside, sealed by the M16x1 locknut.
Pass Dia 8 vacuum-generator supply lines through the aluminium partition of a robotic pick-and-place cell without drilling glands, keeping the tube side accessible for quick release during end-of-arm tool changes.
Feed hold-down clamp actuators on a PCB test fixture from the rig's rear panel: the 1/4" PT stud ties into the regulator output with its factory sealant, and the black body blends with instrument enclosures.
Step down to PMF602 for Dia 6 tube on the same 1/4" thread, or up to PMF1003 for Dia 10; note that the panel locknut thread changes with tube size as well - M14x1 on Dia 6, M16x1 here, M20x1 on Dia 10 - so the mounting hole in your panel changes too. On the thread side, PMF801 swaps to 1/8" PT for smaller valve ports and PMF803 steps to 3/8" for larger manifold faces. Match the thread to the port first, then confirm the tube: a Dia 8 socket will not grip 5/16 inch or Dia 6 tube, even though both look close.
Choose the bulkhead shape over a plain PC connector whenever a cabinet wall, machine guard or divider panel sits between the valve output and the point of use - it turns the panel itself into a sealed, serviceable bulkhead instead of routing a fitting through a drilled gland.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum capability -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It accepts Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube, has a 1/4" PT male thread with pre-applied sealant, and mounts through the panel with an M16x1 locknut. The D suffix gives it a black body.
Drill the panel to suit the M16x1 locknut thread, pass the stud through, and tighten the nut from the opposite side; the thread arrives pre-coated with sealant so no extra compound is required. On the tube side, only exact Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube will lock into the chuck - AirTAC's one-touch design relies on precise OD contact with the POM chuck and stainless spring gasket, so near-size tube will leak or pull out.
