About the Airtac PV Series L-Type Elbow Fitting PV6
The PV6 is an AirTAC PV union elbow, a tube-to-tube fitting with no threaded port at all: both ends accept Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing and turn the run through 90 degrees. Push each tube home into its chuck and the grip locks it instantly; pressing the release ring frees that end again. Everything is plastic-on-metal inside - POM chuck, guide and release button, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring - and the standard colour is grey, with the D suffix swapping to a black body on this series.
It runs on the resin one-touch profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. Threaded ports arrive with sealant pre-applied, but a union elbow never touches a port, so there is nothing to re-seal - the joint is entirely the two collet grips on the tube.

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 PV6 Is Used
Pick-and-place gripper header
On a 2-finger pneumatic gripper mounted under a robot wrist, supply air arrives along the arm axis; a PV6 turns that 6mm PU line 90 degrees into the gripper inlet without an extra threaded joint to leak or loosen under vibration.
Compact rotary actuator plumbing
Vane and rack-and-pinion rotary actuators often have ports facing straight out of the housing. Where a straight union cannot make the corner inside the actuator cover, a PV6 bends the 6mm nylon feed flush against the body.
Bench-top portioning fixture
In a small lab dosing or sample-handling fixture, 6mm polyurethane runs are re-routed as the fixture evolves. A PV6 makes the direction change tool-free, and both legs release individually so one leg can be swapped without disturbing the other.
Is the Airtac PV Series L-Type Elbow Fitting PV6 the Right Part?
On the PV ladder this Dia 6 size sits between PV4 and PV8. Stepping down to PV4 buys routing flexibility in a tighter radius for light-actuation lines; stepping up to PV8 doubles the effective bore area for shorter, stiffer circuits but resists bending harder in a cluttered frame. If your run needs to land on a threaded port instead of another tube, that is the PL male elbow job - PL6-01 takes Dia 6 tube on one end and a 1/8 PT thread on the other.
Tube OD must match exactly on both legs: the PV6 collet is cut for 6 mm and will not hold 1/4 in (6.35 in-imperial) or 5/16 tubing, and forcing a near-miss size is the classic cause of a weep at the elbow. Stick to soft nylon or polyurethane; semi-rigid or braided tube cannot seat past the grip fingers.
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 PV6 FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Both legs take Dia 6 mm tube; the part has no thread. Applicable tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane only.
No. The PV is a pure union: both ends are one-touch tube sockets for 6 mm tubing, so it only joins tube to tube. To land on a threaded port you need a male elbow from the PL series instead, for example PL6-01, which pairs Dia 6 tube with a 1/8 PT thread and arrives with sealant already on the thread.
