The AirTAC Airtac PZB Cross Threaded Fitting PZB1004D-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 PZB1004D-S is an AirTAC threaded cross from the resin one-touch family: a single 1/2in PT male thread on one axis and three Dia 10 mm push-in ports on the other, so one supply point can feed three tube legs at right angles. Push each tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the POM release ring and the tube frees off again. The male thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals straight into a PT port.
This is the SUS304 variant, and on the PZB family that means the stud - not the body - is stainless steel 304; the cross itself stays glass-reinforced PBT, now in black because of the D suffix. The ratings are the standard resin profile: 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C. Nothing is re-rated because the stud is stainless, and the dimensions match the grey PZB1004 exactly.

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.

Mounted on a 1/2in PT drop from the machine manifold, the cross feeds three Dia 10 lines running out to the lift and clamp cylinders on a bottle rinser, all from one junction point.
The SUS304 stud resists the corrosive atmosphere above plating and rinse tanks, letting the cross sit on the copper-free side of a fume hood and branch air to three tank-agitation nozzles.
On an electronics pick-and-place gantry, the cross splits one 1/2in riser into three Dia 10 runs serving the Z-stroke cylinder and two gripper circuits along the beam.
Check the ladder before you order. On a 1/2in thread the PZB range offers Dia 8, Dia 10 and Dia 12, so PZB804D-S drops you to 8 mm tube for lighter actuators and PZB1204D-S steps up to 12 mm for the heaviest legs; 1/2in is the largest thread the PZB family makes - there is no 3/4in step up. Stepping the thread down gives PZB1003D-S on 3/8in, which carries the same Dia 10 tube. Note that PZB is never offered in M5 or Dia 4, so this family starts at 1/8in ports.
A cross is the right answer when one feed must split into three fixed directions at a machine junction; if you only need two branches, a PEB male branch tee is the smaller part. Tube OD must match exactly - the Dia 10 chuck will not hold 12 mm or 8 mm tube, and soft nylon or polyurethane are the only tubing types covered by the spec.
Quick checklist
It is a threaded cross with three Dia 10 mm push-in ports and a 1/2in PT male thread on a SUS304 stud, with a black PBT body. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and temperature range -20 to +70 C. Soft nylon or polyurethane tubing only. The stainless variant does not change any of these figures.
No, not at this port. The chuck inside each port grips Dia 10 mm OD tube only; an 8 mm or 12 mm tube will neither seal nor lock. If your circuit runs 12 mm, order PZB1204D-S; for 8 mm, order PZB804D-S - both exist on the same 1/2in thread. Where a size change must happen in-line, a PG different-diameter straight union is the part for it.
