The AirTAC Airtac PZB Cross Threaded Fitting PZB1002 is a genuine threaded cross for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PZB1002 is an AirTAC PZB threaded cross: a single male 1/4in PT thread on one leg and three push-in ports for Dia 10 mm soft nylon or PU tube on the other three. It turns one threaded outlet into a four-way junction, so a valve port can feed three tube runs plus itself without stacking separate unions and tees.
It belongs to AirTAC's resin one-touch line, rated 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum and -20 to +70 C. To make a joint, push the tube straight home until it bottoms; the stainless spring gasket and chuck clamp it; press the POM release ring to free it. The male thread ships with sealant pre-applied, so no tape or paste is needed on assembly.

On a robotic palletising head, one 1/4in solenoid outlet can feed three separate Dia 10 cup lines through this cross, halving the fitting count compared with a tee-and-union stack in the crowded gripper housing.
Along a modular belt conveyor frame, the threaded leg bolts into the 1/4in drop port at each gantry node while three Dia 10 branches carry air to reject pushers, sensors jets and a cleaning nozzle from one point.
In a compact analytical-instrument pneumatic deck, a four-way junction at a single 1/4in thread keeps the routing of three Dia 10 actuator and purge lines tidy where panel depth will not allow separate tees.
On the PZB ladder, a 1/4in thread takes Dia 6, 8 or 10 tube, so the PZB802 is the step DOWN in bore. At Dia 10 you are already at the top of the 1/4in row - there is no PZB1202. If you later need Dia 12, you must move to a 3/8in or 1/2in thread (PZB1203 or PZB1204). Note also that PZB is never offered in Dia 4 and has no M5 version, so small-bore work has to go to another prefix. Match the thread to the actual port: a 1/4in PT port takes this stud directly, and the taper plus factory sealant is what seals - do not bottom it on a shoulder. Tubing must be Dia 10 OD exactly; a nominal 3/8in (about 9.5-10 mm) tube will not hold reliably in the chuck.
Quick checklist
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. This SKU accepts Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on three push-in ports and has one male 1/4in PT thread. Threads are supplied with sealant pre-applied; the standard body colour is grey.
No. All three push-in ports are the same Dia 10 mm bore and there is only the one male 1/4in PT thread - the PZB range has no reducing crosses. If you need different bores on the same node, combine the cross with PG reducers or a PKD reducer branch instead. Also never mix in a 3/8in nominal tube: the chuck only grips true Dia 10 OD tubing.
