The AirTAC Airtac PZG Cross Reducing Fitting PZG10-8 is a genuine different diameter cross for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PZG10-8 is an AirTAC different diameter cross, a four-port tube-to-tube fitting that lets one Dia 10 supply line meet three Dia 8 branch lines in a single push-in node. There is no threaded port here - every connection is one-touch: push the soft nylon or polyurethane tube home and the internal chuck grips it for pressure-tight sealing, while pressing the release ring with a fingertip frees the tube again. No wrenches, no tape, no sealant at this joint.
It belongs to AirTAC's resin one-touch family, so it carries the resin spec profile rather than the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. It also holds vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr). The body is moulded from PBT over a brass-free resin construction with POM release collars, an aluminium-alloy guide, a stainless spring gasket and an NBR seal, finished in standard grey.

On a robotic palletizing cell, a Dia 10 trunk run along the gripper frame can be crossed once and split three ways into Dia 8 drops, each feeding a suction-pad ejector or gripper cylinder without adding separate tee joints.
Along a bottling conveyor, a PZG cross lets a Dia 10 header tap off to three Dia 8 reject pusher cylinders and one continuing run, all at one push-in point that can be re-tubed during a changeover in seconds.
Where a bank of three valve islands sits off a single Dia 10 feeder, the Dia 8 ports take short balanced branches to each island inlet, keeping tubing lengths near-equal so pressure drop stays even across the bank.
Size both legs before ordering. Stepping down, the PZG8-6 crosses Dia 8 to Dia 6 - same four-way shape but a lighter bore suited to small actuators, and capacity falls with the bore, so keep short runs and modest consumers on it. Stepping up, the PZG12-10 crosses Dia 12 to Dia 10 for the opposite job: a fatter trunk feeding medium branches. The 10/8 split of this SKU is the balanced middle of the ladder - big enough to feed several Dia 8 circuits from one trunk, small enough to route through machine frames.
Tube OD must match exactly on every leg: the Dia 10 ports accept only 10 mm tube and the Dia 8 ports only 8 mm - 3/8in or 5/16in imperial tube will not seat in either. If you actually need a cross with a threaded port instead of a fourth tube leg, that is the PZB threaded cross, a different series.
Quick checklist
It is an AirTAC different diameter cross joining Dia 10 tube on two opposite ports to Dia 8 tube on the other two, with no threaded port. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, negative pressure capability is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. Use soft nylon or polyurethane tube of exactly 10 mm or 8 mm OD.
Yes, but only within the design split: the two Dia 10 ports must take 10 mm tube and the two Dia 8 ports must take 8 mm tube - pushing, say, 6 mm tube into a Dia 8 port will not seal. Choosing a single cross instead of a Dia 10 union tee plus a reducer tee removes one joint, one potential leak path, and one tube run, and the release rings on all four ports still let any leg be reworked without disturbing the others.
