About the Airtac PZG Cross Reducing Fitting PZG12-10
The PZG12-10 is an AirTAC PZG different diameter cross, a four-way tube-to-tube one-touch fitting that steps between two tube sizes in a single moulded body: Dia 12 mm and Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube. There is no threaded port at all, so the whole junction is made by pushing tube home until the internal chuck grips it; a press on the POM release ring frees each line again for rework.
This is the resin/brass spec profile, so it carries the full resin rating: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, and -20 to +70 C. The body is PBT with a stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring seal at each chuck. A D suffix version is available in black, but the standard PZG12-10 ships in grey.

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 PZG Cross Reducing Fitting PZG12-10 Is Used
Thermoforming vacuum distribution
On a plastic thermoformer, the -750 mmHg vacuum rating lets the cross split a Dia 12 vacuum drop into Dia 10 legs serving individual clamping cups without threaded adapters.
Packaging machine gripper manifold
A pick-and-place packaging head can take Dia 12 supply at the cross and feed four Dia 10 gripper circuits, keeping the junction to one push-in body inside a crowded gantry.
Screen printing conveyor air knives
Four-way splitting suits a screen printing line where one Dia 12 feed must reach Dia 10 air knife nozzles on both sides of a moving web, balanced from a single point.
Is the Airtac PZG Cross Reducing Fitting PZG12-10 the Right Part?
Step down to PZG10-8 when the main line is Dia 10 and the branches need to shrink to Dia 8 - useful where a large supply run feeds smaller actuators. Dia 12 is the largest tube size in this catalogue, so there is no size above PZG12-10 to step up to; that is the top of the ladder, stated plainly. Remember tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 12 port will not hold 1/4 in (6.35 mm) tube, even though the numbers look close.
Choose a cross instead of two tees when you need four connections from one point and want to eliminate the extra joints and potential leak paths. If a threaded port on one leg would help, PZB (threaded cross) is the alternative shape; PZG keeps everything push-in.
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 PZG Cross Reducing Fitting PZG12-10 FAQ
It is a resin-body one-touch different diameter cross for Dia 12 mm and Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube, tube-to-tube with no thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, negative pressure is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. Sealing is by NBR O-ring with a stainless spring gasket behind each chuck.
Use soft nylon or soft polyurethane tube only - semi-rigid or hard metric tube will not seat in the chuck. The two diameters are fixed by the part number: Dia 12 on one circuit and Dia 10 on the other, matched exactly per port. The grey body is standard; the D-ordering-suffix version of PZG gives a black body if your panel colour needs it.
