About the Airtac PV Series L-Type Elbow Fitting PV10
The PV10 is an AirTAC PV series one-touch union elbow: a tube-to-tube fitting that turns a Dia 10 airline through 90 degrees without ever touching a threaded port. Both ends are identical, so it works as a pure in-line corner joint between two runs of 10mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing.
To make the joint, push each tube straight into its socket until it bottoms out - the stainless spring gasket and POM chuck grip the tube wall and hold it against the internal seal. Pressing the release ring square to the body frees the tube again. This resin PV profile carries a working pressure of 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), a negative pressure rating of -750 mmHg (10 Torr), a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The standard body colour is grey; adding D to the code changes the body to black.

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 PV Series L-Type Elbow Fitting PV10 Is Used
Corner routing behind valve manifolds
On a packaging machine's pneumatic manifold, a PV10 turns a 10mm drop line through 90 degrees to run horizontally to the actuator circuit, eliminating the tight bend radius that would otherwise pinch soft polyurethane tube against the manifold frame.
Gantry and pick-and-place axis feeds
Where a 10mm supply line has to climb over a gantry beam or wrap around a guide rail, the union elbow makes the right-angle turn with a firm grip on the tube, keeping vacuum and pressure lines tidy on moving-axis pick-and-place systems.
Workshop clamp circuit splices
When extending or repairing a 10mm clamping line on a woodworking or jig fixture, the PV10 splices two tube ends at a corner without cutting new threads or adding a threaded adapter block between them.
Is the Airtac PV Series L-Type Elbow Fitting PV10 the Right Part?
PV10 sits mid-ladder. Step down to PV8 when the branch feeds a small actuator or a signal circuit where a 10mm bore is more than the circuit needs, and the smaller elbow gives a slightly tighter corner. Step up to PV12 for trunk runs off a larger manifold or supply to a big-bore cylinder, where the wider bore keeps velocity down over distance. Both neighbours are in the same PV shape, so the swap changes nothing about your panel layout - only the tube you buy.
Two fitting checks before ordering: the tube OD must match the fitting exactly, so a 10mm tube only - a 1/4in (approx 6.35mm) tube will not seat or seal in a PV10. And if the turn actually has to pass through a panel wall rather than route around it, the PM bulkhead union with its M20x1 locknut is the shape you want instead, not this elbow.
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 PV Series L-Type Elbow Fitting PV10 FAQ
The PV10 is a one-touch union elbow joining two Dia 10mm tubes with no threaded port. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It is designed for soft nylon or polyurethane tubing, and the standard body colour is grey (the D suffix gives black).
Yes - the resin PV profile is rated to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) negative pressure, so the PV10 is suitable for vacuum lines as well as pressure lines, provided both tube ends are cut square and pushed fully home. Use soft nylon or polyurethane tube only, matched exactly to 10mm OD: a metric-imperial mismatch such as 1/4in tube will not seal. Note that at the upper end of the temperature window, the tubing itself is usually the limiting factor rather than the fitting.
