About the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH6M5D-S
The PH6M5D-S is an AirTAC PH universal male elbow in the black D finish with a SUS304 stainless stud. It joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to an M5x0.8 male thread. What sets the PH shape apart from the fixed PL elbow is the swivelling thread: the elbow body can be rotated on the male stud after installation, so the tube exit points exactly where the hose run needs it. Push the tube into the chuck until it bottoms, and the stainless spring gasket inside grips it; press the release ring to free it again.
This is the resin-line spec profile: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix does not change a single one of those figures. On the PH family it means the stud is SUS304 while the body stays PBT, and the dimensions are identical to the standard part - a genuine upgrade for the threaded interface, not a re-rated fitting. Note that on the M5 size the thread seals with a sealing gasket rather than pre-applied sealant.

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 PH6M5D-S Is Used
Compact gripper on a pick-and-place head
Small pneumatic grippers and mini cylinders on packaging machine heads often carry M5 ports buried in tight castings. The swivel stud lets the Dia 6 tube exit upward or sideways after the elbow is seated, avoiding a kinked hose on a moving axis.
Valve manifold take-off on an indexing table
Control blocks on small rotary indexing tables frequently use M5x0.8 branch ports. This elbow converts one to a Dia 6 run, and the stainless stud resists the slightly corrosive cutting-fluid mist found around secondary-operation lathes.
Analytical instrument sample-transport line
Benchtop analyzers and lab automation decks route Dia 6 polyurethane between solenoid valves with M5 ports. The PBT body with SUS304 stud and a -750 mmHg vacuum rating suits light sample-draw circuits where a reagent splash would pit a plain brass stud.
Is the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH6M5D-S the Right Part?
On the M5 ladder of the PH series only Dia 4 and Dia 6 exist, so PH4M5-S is the single step down and there is no larger M5 option - this is the biggest M5 universal elbow AirTAC makes. If your tube is Dia 6 but the port is bigger, the neighbouring parts are PH601 (1/8 in), PH602 (1/4 in) and PH603 (3/8 in), all on the same swivel body. Confirm the port size before ordering: M5x0.8 is a fine metric port, common on compact valves and manifold blocks, and it will not interchange with a 1/8 in PT port.
The tube OD must match exactly - this chuck is set for Dia 6 mm and will not clamp 6.35 mm (1/4 in) tube or a reduced wall section. If you need to step the bore down to a Dia 4 line, pick a reducer shape such as PKG instead of forcing a size mismatch here.
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 PH6M5D-S FAQ
It is an AirTAC PH universal male elbow with a swivelling M5x0.8 male thread and a one-touch socket for Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it holds vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix makes the stud SUS304 stainless steel; the elbow body is PBT, the release button and chuck are POM, and the O-ring is NBR. Ratings and dimensions are identical to the standard PH6M5D.
No. Unlike the larger PT-threaded sizes in this catalogue, the M5x0.8 stud on this part seals with a sealing gasket, so it screws straight into an M5 port without tape or compound. Because the stud swivels, tighten the fitting into the port first, then rotate the elbow body to aim the tube exit - never re-tighten against a locked orientation.
