The AirTAC Airtac PZB Cross Threaded Fitting PZB1002D 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 AirTAC PZB1002D is a PZB threaded cross in the resin one-touch range: a single male 1/4 in PT thread on one leg and three Dia 10 mm push-in ports on the other three. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the POM release ring and it frees again. Because one threaded port becomes three tube outlets, it is the densest way in this catalogue to split a supply line without stacking tees.
This is the resin spec profile, not the metal BPC line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a service window of -20 to +70 C. The D suffix gives the PBT body in black with grey code unchanged electrically or mechanically - it is a colour and body-shell option only. Note that PZB is one of the few prefixes with no M5 version at all; the smallest threaded cross starts at 1/8 in PT with Dia 6 tube.

Threaded into a 1/4 in PT manifold outlet on a rinse-and-fill machine, the cross feeds three Dia 10 lines to two gate cylinders and an air-blast nozzle from a single port, removing the stack of tees that would otherwise crowd the manifold face.
Mounted at the base of a six-axis robot wrist, it splits one threaded supply passing through the hollow wrist into three Dia 10 drops - grip, release and blow-off - on an end-of-arm tool where every extra junction adds drop length and leak points.
Rated to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), it distributes vacuum from one 1/4 in PT suction port to three Dia 10 cup positions on a modular clamping table holding flat aluminium sheet during machining.
On the 1/4 in row of the PZB ladder the supported tube sizes are Dia 6, Dia 8 and Dia 10, so PZB1002D is the largest cross available on this thread. One step down is PZB0802 (Dia 8), which shaves port bulk and suits lighter actuator drops; there is no step up on 1/4 in - for Dia 12 tube you must move to the 3/8 in or 1/2 in cross. If you want to keep Dia 10 tube but add headroom, PZB1003 on 3/8 in PT carries the same Dia 10 port. The male thread arrives with sealant already applied, so hand-start it clean and do not add tape over the coating.
Tube OD must match exactly: the Dia 10 chuck will not seal on 1/4 in (6.35 mm) or imperial tube, and a Dia 8 part will not hold 10 mm line. Use soft nylon or polyurethane only.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Ports: three push-in outlets for Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube plus one male 1/4 in PT threaded leg, supplied with thread sealant. Body is PBT in black (the D suffix); release button and chuck are POM, guide is aluminium alloy, spring gasket stainless, O-ring NBR.
No on both counts. The one-touch chuck is sized for exactly 10 mm OD tube - Dia 8 tube will not seal and will blow out under pressure, so order PZB0802 for an 8 mm line. The male thread leaves the factory pre-coated with sealant, so additional PTFE tape is unnecessary and can carry fragments into the air circuit; just thread it in and position.
