About the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH4M5
The PH4M5 is an AirTAC PH universal male elbow, a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 4 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to an M5x0.8 male port. Push the tube into the chuck and the internal gasket springs onto it for a sealed grip; press the POM release ring and the tube frees without tools. Unlike a fixed elbow, the PH head swivels, so you can aim the tube exit in any direction before final tightening - useful where a straight connector would force a tight tube bend.
This is the resin/brass one-touch profile: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The threaded portion is PBT with a brass stud and arrives with a sealing gasket for the M5 thread rather than applied sealant, so the small port does not clog with paste during installation.

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 PH4M5 Is Used
Feeding a compact vacuum ejector
Miniature ejectors and pilot valves on pick-and-place heads commonly carry M5 ports. The PH4M5 screws straight in, and the swivel head lets the Dia 4 supply tube route away from the suction cup without a sharp twist.
Analytical and lab instrument pneumatics
Sample-handling modules in diagnostic and laboratory equipment use small-bore Dia 4 lines at low pressure. The gasket-sealed M5 thread keeps sealant out of clean internal passages, and the elbow solves tight internal routing.
Small pneumatic gripper on an assembly cell
Compact parallel grippers with M5 ports often sit close to fixtures where a straight fitting would kink the tube. The PH4M5 angles the Dia 4 line along the gripper body instead of into it.
Is the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH4M5 the Right Part?
Dia 4 is the smallest tube size AirTAC makes on the PH ladder, and on M5 it is one of only two options. If your line carries Dia 6 tube, step up to PH6M5; nothing below Dia 4 exists in this series, so this is the entry point of the range. If you are not locked to M5, the PH401 in 1/8in thread also accepts Dia 4 and gives you the same swivel behaviour on a taper-threaded port. Match the fitting to the tube OD exactly - a Dia 4 chuck will not grip 1/8in or 5/32in tube, and forcing it destroys the seal.
Choose the PH shape over a straight PC connector when the port faces a wall, a guard or another component and the tube needs to leave sideways or at an angle. On tiny M5 ports the sealing gasket matters: never wind PTFE tape onto the thread, because tape debris is a common cause of pilot-valve sticking on M5 connections.
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 PH4M5 FAQ
It is a PH universal male elbow for Dia 4 mm tube with an M5x0.8 male thread (PT standard family). Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it works down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It suits soft nylon or polyurethane tube only, and the M5 connection is sealed by a gasket.
No. The one-touch chuck and spring gasket are cut for Dia 4 mm OD exactly, and AirTAC's interface table offers only Dia 4 and Dia 6 tube on the PH with M5 thread. Off-size tube will either not enter or will leak and blow off under pressure. Move to PH6M5 for Dia 6 tube, or to a 1/8in PH fitting if your thread is taper rather than M5.
