The AirTAC Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH803-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 PH803-S is an AirTAC PH universal male elbow, a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 3/8 in PT male port. Push the tube home and the chuck grips it against a stainless spring gasket with an NBR O-ring behind it; press the release ring and the tube frees off again. Unlike a fixed PL elbow, the PH head swivels on its thread, so you can tighten the 3/8 in connection first and then clock the tube outlet to point exactly where the hose run needs it.
This -S variant keeps the standard PBT body but upgrades the male stud to SUS304 stainless steel, putting corrosion-resistant metal right at the port thread where moisture and splash tend to collect. The rating set is unchanged from the resin line: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The stud ships with sealant already on the thread, so no extra tape or paste is needed at assembly.

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.

A rotary cylinder often lands with its port pointing somewhere useless once mounted. The PH803-S swivelling head lets you torque the 3/8 in stud square to the port and then rotate the Dia 8 mm tube outlet around to the hose run.
On a small packaging or assembly machine where the guard skin sits close to the cylinder, a straight connector would force the tube into a hard bend. This elbow turns the run 90 degrees right at the port and frees the routing.
Where the fitting sees regular splash and humid air, the SUS304 stud resists corrosion at the port interface, while the PBT body shrugs off the wash-down environment around Dia 8 mm drop lines to rinse guns and small air cylinders.
Within the PH ladder on a 3/8 in thread, the neighbouring sizes are PH603 down at Dia 6 tube, which suits lighter cylinder and sensor lines, and PH1003 up at Dia 10 tube when the branch feeds a larger bore actuator and you want the bigger bore for capacity. If the port in front of you is 1/4 in rather than 3/8 in, the same Dia 8 tube is served by PH802 on the PH row. Pick the elbow only after confirming the port size, because a PT thread with sealant will not forgive a half-size match.
Choose a universal elbow over a straight PC or a fixed PL when the fitting must be oriented after installation, such as a port that faces an awkward direction once the actuator is mounted. And remember the tube OD has to match exactly: a Dia 8 chuck will not hold 10 mm or 1/4 in tube reliably, no matter how close it looks.
Quick checklist
Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) with a vacuum capability of -750 mmHg (10 Torr). Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa. The service temperature range is -20 to +70 C. This SKU takes Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on a 3/8 in PT male thread, with a SUS304 stud on a PBT body. Applying -S changes the stud material only, never the ratings.
No. On PH-series -S parts AirTAC keeps the body in PBT and upgrades only the male stud to SUS304 stainless steel, which is where thread corrosion typically starts. If you need a fitting whose body itself is stainless steel 304, the PC and POC straight connectors in -S form are the parts in this catalogue that do that. Dimensions and ratings are otherwise identical to the standard PH803.
