So you're setting up a pneumatic line and need something that won't leak at 150 psi—we've got you covered with the PLF series, and the push-to-connect design basically cuts installation time in half if you're working in tight spots. A 50-unit order or so usually ships within 10 working days, but check lead time if you need M5 or 1/2" thread combos fast.
Form handling cycled actuation on automated packaging lines to being the go-to for low-presure air systems in maintenance shops, these fittings hold up fine at 0-60°C—just don't push them with anything other than compressed air, they're not meant for water or aggressive chemicals. The rotating body on PL and PT models is actually a lifesaver when you're aligning tubing in crowded panels, and we include the O-ring or Teflon coating on the screw section as standard.
Thread options run M6 through 1/8", 1/4", up to 1/2", and compatibilty with polyurethane, PE, or nylon tubing means most common setups are covered. though—the working range tops out at 150 psi, so if your system regularly hits 200 psig, you'll need a different fitting line entirely.
Assembly-wise, you can also order PLF04-M5, PLF08-01, PLF12-03, or teh fractional-end versions like PLF3/8-1/4"N—roughly 38 model variants in total, but we usually stock popular ones. Negative pressure holds at -29.5 in Hg, which matters for vacuum pick-and-place arms more than most buyers initially think to ask about.
CE and ISO certified, and the hexagonal interior/exterior on the PC type allows a wrench grip if your fingers can't reach the tightening spot—that's a detail you'll appreciate when routing lines behind a machine skid. We don't recommend these for constant submersion in oil mist either, just for the record.
Our MOQ for the PLF Series is typically 100 pieces per size and thread type, but we can be flexible on mixed orders if you're testing a new setup. Just reach out to confirm.
Yes, all PLF Series fittings are CE and ISO certified, and we can provide copies of the certificates upon request. Just let us know what you need for your quality audit.
Absolutely, they're compatible with nylon tubing within the 0-60°C range and up to 150 psi. Just make sure the tubing is properly inserted and secured to avoid leaks.
For a standard order of 1,000 pieces with 1/4" threads, lead time is usually 15-20 working days. We can speed that up if you need a rush, but stock availability varies.
No, they're not interchangeable on the same unit—each PLF fitting is assembled with one sealing method. You'll need to specify whether you want O-ring or Teflon coated when ordering, as it affects performance in certain air systems.
