About the Airtac PZB Cross Threaded Fitting PZB1004
The PZB1004 is an AirTAC PZB one-touch threaded cross, the four-way fitting that turns a single 1/2in PT male thread into three Dia 10 mm tube take-offs at right angles to each other. Push each soft nylon or polyurethane tube into its port until it bottoms: the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip the tube wall, and the POM release ring lets it go again when you press it in. The 1/2in PT male stud arrives with sealant already applied, so it threads straight into the port.
This is the resin and brass one-touch profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, vacuum down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. Body materials are PBT with a brass threaded stud, a POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring. Note that PZB starts at Dia 6 tube and offers no M5 thread, so this cross lives at the larger end of the range.

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 PZB Cross Threaded Fitting PZB1004 Is Used
Can-body press air header
Mounted off the 1/2in main drop on a can-stamping press, the PZB1004 splits the supply three ways to feed the clamp, eject and blow-off circuits in Dia 10 hose without extra junction blocks.
Panel-mount valve manifold feed
On a bottling line valve island, the cross takes the 1/2in PT branch off the FRL manifold and hands three Dia 10 lines to upstream pilot and actuation stations side by side.
Palletiser gripper distribution
Where a palletiser head needs simultaneous suction and blow-off legs, the threaded cross divides the Dia 10 feed from the vacuum generator into three equal take-offs at the wrist.
Is the Airtac PZB Cross Threaded Fitting PZB1004 the Right Part?
On the PZB ladder this 1/2in thread carries Dia 8, Dia 10 and Dia 12 tube only. Step down to PZB804 when the branches feed smaller actuators or valves and you want a slimmer cross; step up to PZB1204 when these three legs supply high-consumption cylinders on a main header. At Dia 10 you are on the middle rung, which keeps flow capacity reasonable while still matching the common 10 mm hose used on mid-size air cylinders. If you need a three-way split rather than a four-way cross, the PED male run tee or PYB branch Y in the same sizes is the lighter answer.
Tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 10 one-touch port will not seal reliably on 3/8in or 12 mm tube, so check the hose printed on the wall before ordering. Match the 1/2in PT stud to a port of the same nominal size; on a manifold with tapped branches this is the natural place for a cross because one fitting replaces a tee plus a union.
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 PZB Cross Threaded Fitting PZB1004 FAQ
It is a PZB one-touch threaded cross for Dia 10 mm tube with a 1/2in PT male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa and operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It accepts soft nylon or polyurethane tubing, and the 1/2in stud ships with thread sealant applied.
No. One-touch fittings hold only the exact tube OD they were made for, so the Dia 10 ports of the PZB1004 will not grip 12 mm or 3/8in hose. If your line is 12 mm tube on a 1/2in thread, order the PZB1204; for 8 mm tube on the same thread, the PZB804 is the correct part. Adapters such as the PG different-diameter union can step a branch down afterwards, but the port itself must see matching Dia 10 tube.
