The AirTAC Airtac PV Series L-Type Elbow Fitting PV10D is a genuine union elbow for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PV10D is an AirTAC PV series union elbow - a one-touch fitting that joins two lengths of Dia 10 mm tube at a right angle with no threaded port in between. Push each tube into its socket until it bottoms out and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it; press the POM release ring to free it again. Because it is a single-piece elbow rather than two straight unions meeting in a corner, there is one fewer joint in the line and no chance of the two halves unscrewing from each other under vibration.
This is the resin/brass spec profile: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C with soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. The D suffix makes the body black instead of the standard grey - useful where a dark fitting hides better against machine frames and cable bundles. Internally you get a POM chuck and release ring, an aluminium-alloy guide, a stainless spring gasket and an NBR O-ring on each side.

Turning a 10 mm supply line 90 degrees into a rotary indexing table's valve manifold, where a rigid right-angle turn saves the tubing from chafing on the rotating frame edge.
Joining two 10 mm nylon runs inside a pick-and-place gantry's hollow arm section, where the black body disappears against the cable loom and the elbow clears the pivot's swept volume.
Splicing an existing 10 mm polyurethane line around a newly added sensor bracket on a retrofit press, without cutting the tube back to a threaded port or adding a second fitting.
Dia 10 sits near the top of the PV ladder. Step down to PV8 when the line feeds a smaller actuator or you want a tighter bend radius in a crowded route; step up to PV12 for trunk lines feeding manifolds or larger cylinders, where the wider bore lowers restriction on longer runs. Both neighbours exist in this series, so resizing is a simple part-number change.
Being a union, the PV10D has no thread to match - it floats wherever your tubing puts it, which makes it the right answer for turning a 10 mm run through 90 degrees mid-route. The one rule that matters: tube OD must match exactly. A Dia 10 socket will not seal on 12 mm or on 3/8 inch tube, and the release ring will not free a wrongly sized tube cleanly either.
Quick checklist
It is a one-touch union elbow for two Dia 10 mm tubes with no thread (tube-to-tube union), black body (D suffix). Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. It is for soft nylon or polyurethane tubing, with POM chuck and release ring, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring.
On the PV series the D suffix changes the body colour to black; the pressure, vacuum and temperature ratings, the sealing internals and the dimensions are identical to the grey PV10. One practical point in its favour: on a union elbow the tube enters from both ends, so a dark body is also easier to keep visually consistent when both incoming and outgoing 10 mm runs pass through a painted or anodised machine section.
