The AirTAC Airtac PZB Cross Threaded Fitting PZB1002-S 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-S is an AirTAC one-touch threaded cross from the PZB family: a four-way branching block with one 1/4in PT male thread and three Dia 10 mm tube ports, so a single threaded source can feed three tube lines from one compact part. Push the tube into a port until it bottoms, the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip the OD, and pressing the release ring frees it again. Note that PZB is one of the few prefixes in this catalogue with no M5 and no Dia 4 option - it starts at Dia 6, so this Dia 10 size sits near the top of the ladder.
This -S variant keeps the PBT body of the standard PZB but the threaded stud is SUS304 stainless steel, which is the point of the suffix: the thread side holds up where moisture or condensation would pit a plain brass stud. Do not re-rate it - the stainless suffix changes the stud material only, so the figures stay exactly the resin-line set: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof, -20 to +70 C, usable to -750 mmHg vacuum.

POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring; body brass or PBT depending on the part. Stainless (-S): SUS304 in place of brass - a solid SUS304 body on the PC and POC straight connectors, and a PBT body with a SUS304 stud on the elbow, tee and branch shapes. Working pressure, proof pressure and temperature are unchanged from the standard version. AirTAC publishes flow as a characteristic curve rather than a single figure, so no L/min value is listed.

A 1/4in PT drop off a plant air manifold screwed into the stud, then three Dia 10 lines out to the supply ports of compact valve terminals on a packaging machine - one fitting instead of a tee plus a second junction.
On a bottling or bakery line where the fitting hangs below the frame and gets hosed down, the SUS304 stud resists pitting at the threaded connection while the PBT body shrugs off the damp environment.
A threaded cross at the end of a Dia 10 header lets one supply thread drive three short tube legs feeding air nozzles along a conveyor, keeping the branch geometry symmetrical instead of chained tees.
Work both directions before you commit. Down one step on the same 1/4in thread, PZB802 takes Dia 8 tube and halves the bore area, so if your downstream cylinders are 6 or 8 mm you are buying an adapter you do not need. Up, this same Dia 10 tube size also exists on a 3/8in thread (PZB1003) and a 1/2in thread (PZB1004); step up when the threaded port is a larger manifold outlet and you want to avoid a reducing bushing. The tube OD must match exactly in every case - a Dia 10 chuck will not seal on 3/8in (9.5 mm) imperial tube, a common mix-up.
If you need only two or three branches, PED (run tee) or PYB (Y) save ports and panel space compared with a cross; the cross earns its place when one threaded feed must split into three tube runs at the same point.
Quick checklist
This is a Dia 10 mm one-touch threaded cross with a 1/4in PT male thread and three Dia 10 tube ports. It is rated for 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum and -20 to +70 C, with soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. The stainless -S suffix changes only the stud material (SUS304) - the pressure and temperature figures are identical to the standard PZB1002.
Yes - like the rest of this threaded one-touch catalogue, the stud arrives with sealant already applied to the thread, so it can be wound straight into a PT port without extra tape or paste. The stainless suffix does not change this. Remember the thread standard is PT throughout this range; there is no G or NPT ordering code to switch to.
