About the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH1003
The PH1003 is an AirTAC PH universal male elbow, a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 3/8in PT male thread. Push the tube straight into the chuck and the stainless spring gasket grips it for a leak-tight seal; press the POM release ring and the tube slides straight back out.
What separates PH from a plain PL male elbow is the head: the threaded section swivels to any angle, not just a fixed 90 degrees, so you can dial the tube run where it needs to go after the thread is seated. This is the resin one-touch profile, rated 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The 3/8in thread arrives with sealant pre-applied, so it is ready to wind straight into the port.

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 PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH1003 Is Used
Pneumatic clamp fixture plumbing
On a fixture clamp block the cylinder port often points at the guard wall. The PH1003 swivel head lets you set the 10 mm tube exit at whatever angle clears the tooling, then lock the 3/8in thread into the manifold below.
Rotary actuator air feed
A rotary indexing table's port turns with the shaft, so a rigid elbow misaligns over the cycle. Running 10 mm tube through a PH1003 gives the loop freedom to follow the rotation without side-loading the seal.
Plating line rinse manifold
Around a rinse or transfer station, 10 mm polyurethane runs frequently enter fittings at odd approach angles to dodge tanks and ducting. The adjustable head plus -750 mmHg vacuum rating covers both pressure feed and gentle suction pickup lines.
Is the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH1003 the Right Part?
On the PH 3/8in ladder you sit between PH803 (Dia 8 tube) below and PH1203 (Dia 12 tube) above. Stepping to 8 mm lightens the loop and suits smaller cylinder ports on the same 3/8in thread; stepping to 12 mm buys more bore for long or high-consumption runs on the identical thread, so the port side does not change either way. If you actually need a fixed right-angle, a PL1003 is the simpler and shorter part - choose PH only when the entry angle must be adjustable.
Tube OD must match exactly: the PH1003 chuck grips 10 mm tube and nothing else. A 12 mm tube will not enter and an 8 mm tube will not seal, so do not substitute imperial 3/8in OD hose here either.
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 PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH1003 FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting is a universal male elbow for Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube with a 3/8in PT male thread, grey as standard with a POM release button, PBT body and brass stud. The thread ships with sealant pre-applied.
A PL1003 locks the tube at exactly 90 degrees to the port axis. The PH1003's threaded head rotates continuously, so you can set the tube run at 90, 45 or any intermediate angle to clear guards and cable trays. If your tube approach is genuinely perpendicular and space is tight, the PL is shorter and cheaper; if the approach is uncertain or obstructed, the swivel saves re-plumbing.
