## Product Summary

PLM pneumatic fittings are **bulkhead elbow push-to-connect connectors** designed for 90-degree tube routing through panels in pneumatic systems.

Combining a **bulkhead mounting structure with a 90° elbow design**, PLM fittings allow tubing to pass through panels while changing direction, making them ideal for compact installations and organized air line layouts.

The push-to-connect mechanism enables quick tube insertion without tools, while the locking nut ensures secure panel mounting and leak-free performance.

**OEM and ODM customization services are available** for tube sizes, thread standards, sealing materials, and branding requirements.

Widely used in pneumatic systems requiring **panel-through installation, 90-degree tube routing, and compact layout optimization**.

### Product Function

PLM fittings are designed to **route pneumatic tubing through panels while simultaneously changing direction by 90°**, reducing the need for additional fittings and simplifying system layout.

👉 Simple comparison:

- PC = straight male fitting

- PM = bulkhead straight union

- PL = elbow fitting

- **PLM = bulkhead + elbow (combined function)**

👉 Elbow fittings are commonly used to connect pipes at angles (e.g., 90°) in fluid or air systems
