About the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH1003-S
The AirTAC PH1003-S is a SUS304 stainless-steel-stud version of the PH universal male elbow, sized to push a Dia 10 mm tube into a 3/8in PT male thread. Unlike a fixed PL elbow, the PH head swivels through any angle, so you can set the tube run wherever the machine needs it and still seal the thread square to the port. Push the tube home and the chuck inside grips it; press the release ring and the tube frees off again.
Because this SKU carries the -S suffix, the threaded stud is stainless steel 304 while the elbow body remains PBT - it is not a solid stainless part, and its dimensions are identical to the standard PH1003. The operating envelope is unchanged: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum and -20 to +70 C, with soft nylon or PU tubing. The 3/8in PT thread arrives with sealant applied, and the Dia 10 locknut step seats on a flat panel or port face as normal.

POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring; body brass or PBT depending on the part. Stainless (-S): SUS304 in place of brass - a solid SUS304 body on the PC and POC straight connectors, and a PBT body with a SUS304 stud on the elbow, tee and branch shapes. Working pressure, proof pressure and temperature are unchanged from the standard version. AirTAC publishes flow as a characteristic curve rather than a single figure, so no L/min value is listed.

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-S Is Used
Injection-moulding machine cooling fixture
Mould-coolant and ejection air lines often leave the platen at an angle the port face never anticipated. The swivelling PH1003-S head takes a Dia 10 nylon run off a 3/8in PT platen port at any angle, and the SUS304 stud shrugs off the humid, slightly corrosive atmosphere around a hot mould.
Wash-down conveyor jetting bar
On a food-plant belt washer, reject-air and knife-blow nozzles are fed from a 3/8in PT jetting manifold. A Dia 10 PU tube pushed into the PH1003-S aims any direction between manifold and nozzle, and the stainless stud survives nightly caustic rinse where a plated brass stud would start to pit.
Electroplating line rinse station
Plating-tank rinse and air-agitation spargers use 3/8in PT tapped headers sitting in acid fume. The PH1003-S lets the Dia 10 tube leave the header at whatever angle the tank layout demands, while the SUS304 stud resists the fume attack that ruins the standard part's plated thread.
Is the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH1003-S the Right Part?
On the 3/8in thread you have four tube steps: PH803 (Dia 8) below, this PH1003 in the middle, and PH1203 (Dia 12) above. Stepping to Dia 8 buys routing flexibility in a tighter envelope; stepping to Dia 12 lowers restriction on a longer run to a large-bore cylinder. On the same Dia 10 tube you can also drop the thread to 1/4in (PH1002) or raise it to 1/2in (PH1004) - match the port, not the hose. One thing that never changes: the fitting only grips Dia 10 mm tube. It will not seat 3/8in OD or 12 mm tube, so measure the old tube before ordering.
Choose the PH shape over a straight PC connector whenever the thread axis and the tube direction cannot coincide - a manifold port facing the wrong way, or a cylinder port inside a guard. Choose the -S variant when the fitting sits where condensate, wash-down splash or marine air attacks plated studs.
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-S FAQ
It joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 3/8in PT male thread. Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), temperature -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix makes the threaded stud SUS304 while the elbow body stays PBT; pressures and dimensions are identical to the standard PH1003.
No. The one-touch mechanism - POM chuck, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring - is the same as the standard part, and the dimension tables match exactly. What -S changes is corrosion life at the metal-to-port interface: the stud is stainless 304, which matters where condensate or chemical fume sits on plated threads. Note the 3/8in thread arrives pre-coated with sealant, so no extra tape is needed on first assembly.
