The AirTAC Airtac PZB Cross Threaded Fitting PZB1003D 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 PZB1003D is a threaded cross in the resin one-touch range: a four-way node that lets two 3/8in PT threaded ports meet two Dia 10 mm push-in ports in one compact grey-free, black-bodied block. Where a tee gives you one branch, a cross gives you two, so a single threaded supply can split into two tube runs without adding another fitting.
Like every P-prefix fitting here it runs the resin spec profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum and -20 to +70 C. Push the soft nylon or PU tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the POM release ring and it frees again. The D suffix makes the body black on this series, and the 3/8in thread arrives from AirTAC with sealant already applied, so it seals straight into a PT port.

A 3/8in port on the machine manifold feeds the cross, and two Dia 10 lines run out to the air cylinders that swing the lane guides on a bottle conveyor.
Both threaded faces bolt into the flap-press station of a case packer while two Dia 10 push-in legs feed the paired clamp cylinders, halving the fitting count at the header.
On a leak-test bench the cross takes the 3/8in supply and hands two Dia 10 gauge lines off at right angles, keeping the panel layout flat and readable.
On the 3/8in thread row of the PZB ladder, Dia 10 sits between Dia 8 (PZB0803) below and Dia 12 (PZB1203) above. Stepping down to 8 mm gives you a narrower bore that suits smaller actuators and shorter runs; stepping up to 12 mm opens the flow path for longer lines or hungrier cylinders. Tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 10 port will not seal on 10.5 mm or 1/4in tube. On the same Dia 10 bore the thread neighbours are 1/4in (PZB1002) and 1/2in (PZB1004), so match the port before you match the tube. If you need a cross with tube on all four legs instead of two threaded ports, that is the union PZ series, not the PZB.
Quick checklist
It is a threaded cross taking Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on two ports and 3/8in PT thread on the other two, in the black (D) finish. Working pressure is 0 to 1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, vacuum capability is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The POM release ring, brass body stud and NBR O-ring are standard to the resin one-touch line.
No. AirTAC ships every threaded one-touch part with sealant already applied to the thread, so the PZB1003D screws into a PT port and seals as supplied. Hand-tight plus a modest turn with a spanner is the usual practice; avoid overtightening into a thin-walled aluminium manifold, where excess torque is far more likely to cause damage than any leak the tape was meant to prevent.
