The AirTAC Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH602D-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 PH602D-S is an AirTAC PH universal male elbow: a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4 in PT male thread, in the black D colour option. Unlike a fixed PL elbow, the universal head pivots, so the tube can leave at any angle you set - a real advantage at cylinder ports where the outlet direction changes from machine to machine. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it; press the release ring and it slides back out.
On this -S variant the male stud is machined in SUS304 stainless steel while the body stays PBT - AirTAC keeps the resin ratings unchanged, so you still get 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C. The stainless thread is what you pay for here: it resists rust in damp or wash-down zones where a plated brass stud would stain. The 1/4 in thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it goes into the port ready to seal.

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.

Dia 6 is the classic bore for small parallel grippers and compact cylinders. The swivelling head lets the tube exit vertically or sideways after the gripper is mounted, keeping the run clear of the Z-axis guard.
Wash-down equipment punishes plated threads with rust staining. With the stud in SUS304, the 1/4 in connection at the solenoid manifold stays clean through repeated caustic rinse cycles.
Lab furniture moves and gets wiped down with solvents. A Dia 6 swivel elbow with a stainless stud at the sash-actuator port survives the chemistry and re-aims when the actuator is repositioned.
Dia 6 is the smallest tube size PH offers on a 1/4 in thread, so there is no smaller sibling on the same thread - step to PH802 (Dia 8) if the actuator takes a fatter line, or drop to PH601 if you can move the port to a 1/8 in thread. Each step up in bore moves more air to the actuator but needs a matching tube roll in stores. Remember the tube OD must match exactly: this chuck holds Dia 6 only and will not seal on nominal 1/4 in (6.35 mm) tubing.
Pick a PH over a PL when the outlet angle is decided at install rather than on the drawing - the swivel head lets you route the tube clear of guards after the cylinder is mounted. If you need a female port instead, the PHF602D-S mirrors this part with a 1/4 in internal thread.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2); vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr); proof pressure 1.5 MPa; operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Tube side: Dia 6 mm soft nylon or PU. Thread side: 1/4 in PT male, supplied with sealant on the thread. The -S suffix means the male stud is SUS304; pressure and temperature ratings are identical to the standard version.
Yes. The universal head pivots through any angle and holds its position, so you can orient the tube run after the cylinder or valve is bolted down - no need to order a fixed 90 degree elbow in the exact orientation. Just remember the release ring must stay accessible: press it to free the Dia 6 tube for service.
