The AirTAC Airtac PHF Tandem Toggle Joint PHF1203D 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 PHF1203D is an AirTAC PHF universal female elbow from the resin one-touch fitting line. It grips a Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube and presents a 3/8 in female PT thread that runs coaxial with the tube leg, so the elbow drops straight onto a male stud or nipple. Push the tube home and a stainless spring gasket with a POM chuck clamps it; press the release ring and the tube slides free again.
The universal joint is the point of this part: after the female thread is tightened the elbow body pivots, so you aim the outlet at the actuator or hose run instead of letting the port dictate the direction. The D suffix turns the whole body black, not just the release button as on PC and POC straight connectors. Ratings follow the standard resin profile: 0-1.0 MPa working, vacuum to -750 mmHg, 1.5 MPa proof, and -20 to +70 C.

On a packaging machine clamp cylinder, screw the elbow onto the 3/8 in port and then swivel the outlet toward the valve manifold so the Dia 12 tube clears the guard sheet without kinking.
The resin profile holds vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), so the coaxial female elbow works as a serviceable drop to a suction cup where the frame stud points the wrong way for a rigid elbow.
The black D-suffix body keeps visibly routed Dia 12 air lines on an exposed press panel looking uniform, and the pivoting outlet lets fitters route around ink-roller access covers.
On a 3/8 in female thread this prefix is offered in Dia 6, 8, 10 and 12, so the size down is PHF1003; there is no size up because Dia 12 is the largest bore PHF makes on this thread. If the port is 1/2 in instead, PHF1204 carries the same Dia 12 tube. Keep the tube OD exact: the chuck inside this body grips true Dia 12 tubing only and will not hold 13 mm or 1/2 in hose. Where the run must bend twice or reach past an obstruction, check the PHW double universal male elbow before adding a second fitting.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and operating temperature -20 to +70 C. This SKU joins a Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 3/8 in female PT thread, with a black PBT body and POM chuck.
No. AirTAC ships threaded one-touch parts with sealant already applied, so the PHF1203D screws onto a male stud as delivered; only the M5 sizes in the range use a sealing gasket instead. Keep the system at or below 1.0 MPa working pressure and match the stud thread nominal size to 3/8 in.
