The AirTAC Airtac PHF Tandem Toggle Joint PHF1003D-S is a genuine universal female elbow for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PHF1003D-S is AirTAC's universal female elbow from the one-touch fitting range: a Dia 10 mm tube socket on one leg and a female 3/8in PT port on the other. The universal joint lets the threaded leg swivel to whatever angle the machine needs, so it reaches ports a fixed 90 degree elbow cannot square up to. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the release ring to free it again.
This part runs on the resin and brass one-touch profile, not the metal line: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C. On -S variants within the elbow family the body stays PBT and the stud becomes SUS304; the D in the code gives the body a black finish. Every dimension matches the standard PHF1003D, so the two parts interchange without re-plumbing.

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.

The swivelling female thread screws onto an existing male stud on a solenoid manifold inside a cramped guard, letting the Dia 10 drop leg leave at the angle that clears the cover instead of the angle the casting dictates.
The SUS304 stud on this elbow stands up to constant saltwater wash far better than a plain brass stud would, while the fitting itself keeps the standard 0-1.0 MPa rating - useful where studs discolour and seize in place.
At a pneumatic index table, the universal joint absorbs the small misalignment between fixed piping drops and the tooling plate, so the Dia 10 air line is not fighting the actuator port every revolution.
Dia 10 sits mid-ladder on the PHF row: step down to the PHF0803D-S for 8 mm tubing or up to the PHF1203D-S for 12 mm, keeping the same 3/8in port. The bore change is what moves flow capacity; the thread stays identical. On thread, Dia 10 also pairs with 1/4in (PHF1002D-S) and 1/2in (PHF1004D-S); note that AirTAC lists PHF in 1/8in thread only up to Dia 8, so a 10 mm tube simply cannot be had on a 1/8in port in this series. The female thread mates an existing male stud or nipple on the equipment side, and remember the tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 10 socket will not seal on 8 mm or 12 mm tube.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), operating temperature -20 to +70 C. This SKU joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a female 3/8in PT thread, with a SUS304 stud, PBT body and black finish. It is the resin/brass one-touch profile, not the 0.9 MPa / 150 C metal line.
The dimensions and every pressure, vacuum and temperature figure are identical to the standard PHF1003D - AirTAC's stainless dimension tables match. The material change is limited: in the PHF family only the stud becomes SUS304 while the body stays PBT, whereas on the straight PC and POC connectors the whole body goes stainless. AirTAC publishes no surface-finish, passivation or corrosion-class figure for the stainless line, and no 316 grade exists in this catalogue.
