The AirTAC Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH1004-S is a genuine universal male elbow for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PH1004-S is AirTAC's PH universal male elbow in the SUS304 stainless-stud variant, joining Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/2in PT male port. What sets the PH shape apart from a fixed PL elbow is the universal joint: the fitting swivels to any angle, so the tube can approach the port from whatever direction the machine allows instead of the other way round. Push the tube in and the internal chuck grips it; press the release ring and it frees.
This is the resin-line spec profile, not the metal one: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, vacuum down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. With the -S suffix the male stud is stainless steel 304 for corrosion resistance at the port, while the elbow body itself remains PBT - the dimensional tables are unchanged from the standard part. The thread arrives with sealant already applied.

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.

On a rotary indexing table the cylinder port faces upward beneath a fixed guard. The PH1004-S turns to whatever approach angle the routing needs, so the Dia 10 tube leaves sideways instead of fouling the guard.
Acid mist around a plating line attacks brass at the port first. The SUS304 stud of the PH1004-S at the tank-side 1/2in connection keeps the wetted thread joint sound while the Dia 10 line feeds the rinse-lift air cylinder.
A food-plant conveyor's reject-gate cylinder is hosed down each shift. Fitting the PH1004-S at the port puts the corrosion-resistant stainless stud where splash lands, with the swivel easing the tight turn to the Dia 10 drop line.
On the PH ladder at 1/2in thread, Dia 10 sits between two real neighbours: PH1008-S (Dia 8 tube) below it and PH1012-S (Dia 12 tube) above it. Stepping down to 8 mm buys compactness and suits lighter actuators; stepping up to 12 mm lowers flow resistance through the bore for longer tube runs - AirTAC publishes capacity as a curve only, so bore is your sizing lever. If you do not actually need the swivel, a fixed PL1004 male elbow does the same join in a simpler body.
The universal joint is the right answer when the port orientation is fixed but awkward - a cylinder port facing upward against a guard, or a manifold hole drilled off-axis. Match the tube OD exactly: this chuck holds Dia 10 mm tube only and will not seal on 3/8in (approx. 9.5 mm) imperial tube.
Quick checklist
It is a universal male elbow for Dia 10 mm tube on a 1/2in PT male thread. Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. In the -S variant the stud is SUS304 stainless steel and the body is PBT; applicable tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane.
The joint is free to swivel, so you can set the tube direction at installation and re-angle it later; the seal is made by the thread and the chuck on the tube, not by the swivel. The -S suffix changes the stud material to SUS304 only - pressures, temperatures, dimensions and the PBT body are identical to the standard PH1004, and the part is not a solid stainless fitting.
