About the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH1004D
The PH1004D is an AirTAC PH universal male elbow: a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/2in PT male thread. The universal head means the threaded stud and the tube-entry body can each articulate independently, so the elbow can be squared up to a port and then rotated until the tube runs exactly where the machine needs it. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it; press the release ring and it frees again. The trailing D marks the black version - on this PH series it changes the body colour, whereas on the PC and POC straights a D suffix only changes the release button.
This belongs to AirTAC's resin and brass one-touch profile, not the 0.9 MPa / 150 C metal BP line. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it holds -750 mmHg (10 Torr) of vacuum, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature window is -20 to +70 C. The elbow body is PBT over a brass stud, the release button and chuck are POM, and it arrives with sealant already applied to the 1/2in thread, so it is ready to wind straight into a PT port without extra tape.

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 PH1004D Is Used
Rotary index table cylinder ports
On an indexing rotary table the air port turns with the fixture. A PH1004D swivels on its thread, so the elbow can be set square to the port and then rotated until the 10 mm line runs tangentially with the table rotation instead of whipping through it.
Valve manifold outlets on packaging lines
Packaging machine valve manifolds often present 1/2in PT outlets angled away from the tube routing. This black-body universal elbow takes a Dia 10 drop line and lets the fitter aim it downward into the cable duct without re-clocking the manifold.
Clamping fixtures on CNC pallet changers
Pneumatic clamp cylinders recessed inside CNC pallet fixtures rarely leave room for a straight fitting. The PH1004D's double-pivot elbow turns the 1/2in port connection through the tight angle and releases instantly when the clamp assembly comes out for service.
Is the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH1004D the Right Part?
On the PH row of AirTAC's interface table, the 1/2in thread is offered in Dia 8, Dia 10 and Dia 12, so PH1004D sits mid-ladder: step down to PH804D for lighter lines feeding small actuators or sensors, or up to PH1204D when the trunk line itself is 12 mm. Below 1/2in, note that PH accepts Dia 10 only on the 1/4in and 3/8in threads as well, so a PH1002D or PH1003D keeps the same tube on a smaller port. Match the thread to the port standard - this catalogue is PT throughout, and M5 sizes do not exist on the PH at all.
Tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 10 chuck will not reliably hold 3/8in (9.5 mm) tube even though the sizes look close. If a straight connector would leave the tube crossing a walkway or fouling a guard, this swivelling elbow is the shape that lets the run drop away cleanly from the port.
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 PH1004D FAQ
It is an AirTAC PH universal male elbow accepting Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on a 1/2in PT male thread, in the black D-colour version. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and the operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C. Thread sealant is applied at the factory.
No. The one-touch chuck is cut for a 10 mm outside diameter and will not seal reliably on 3/8in (9.5 mm) tube, even though the difference is under a millimetre. Use exactly Dia 10 tube, soft nylon or polyurethane. If your line is genuinely 3/8in, step to the PH804D or PH1204D ladder only after confirming your actual tube OD with a caliper.
