Size Notes
Metric tube sizes are shown in millimeters. Inch tube sizes are shown in inch measurements. For PL, PLL, PL-45 and PLF, check both the tube size and thread size before ordering. For PLM, choose the fitting by the tube outside diameter on both sides.
Installation Notes
Cut the tube end flat before pushing it into the fitting. A rough or slanted tube end may affect sealing. Push the tube fully into the fitting, then pull back gently to check that it is locked.
For threaded PL types, match the thread size to the equipment port before installation. For PLM, make sure the panel hole and mounting position are suitable for the bulkhead body. After the air supply is connected, check the tube side and threaded side for leakage.
Where It Is Used
PL Series elbow fittings are used on cylinders, valves, manifolds, pneumatic tools, machine panels and compact automation equipment. PLM is useful for panel-mounted elbow connections where the tube needs to turn near a fixed plate or cabinet wall.
