The AirTAC Airtac PHF Tandem Toggle Joint PHF401D-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 PHF401D-S is an AirTAC PHF universal female elbow in the resin one-touch family. It joins Dia 4 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/8 in PT female threaded port. Because the thread is female, the fitting screws straight onto a male stud or valve port and the elbow body can be positioned during assembly, which is what the 'universal' name refers to. To connect, push the 4 mm tube into the chuck until it bottoms out; the stainless spring gasket and POM chuck grip it instantly. Press the release ring to free it.
This is the standard resin pressure profile, not the metal line: 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix makes the mounting stud SUS304 stainless steel while the body stays black PBT; every pressure, temperature and dimensional figure is identical to the standard PHF401D. The 1/8 in thread arrives with sealant applied, so no extra tape is needed on the port.

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.

Screw the 1/8 in female thread directly onto an analyser or flowmeter port and run 4 mm PU tubing to a small diaphragm pump; the elbow turns the line 90 degrees without kinking the narrow bore.
Inside a cramped control cabinet, the female elbow lets the 4 mm branch exit at a right angle so tubing runs flat along the panel wall instead of fouling terminal blocks or door hinges.
On a low-flow pilot circuit feeding a small 1/8 in solenoid valve, the female thread seals straight onto the valve port, removing the need for a separate male nipple and cutting one assembly step.
Dia 4 mm is the smallest tube size the PHF series offers on a 1/8 in thread, so the only step up is Dia 6 (PHF601), with Dia 8 (PHF801) completing the 1/8 in ladder. If you need more bore for a shorter, low-restriction run, move to Dia 6 rather than forcing a smaller fitting to do a larger one's job. On the thread side, this size also exists with an M5 port (PHF40M5) or a 1/4 in port (PHF402); pick M5 for compact instrument ports and 1/4 in when the mating stud is larger. Remember the tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 4 chuck will not seal on 5/32 in or 3 mm tube.
Quick checklist
Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and proof pressure 1.5 MPa, with a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. The fitting joins Dia 4 mm tubing to a 1/8 in PT female thread. It is the resin one-touch profile: black PBT elbow body, SUS304 stud, POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring, for soft nylon or polyurethane tube.
Only the stud becomes SUS304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in damp or mildly aggressive surroundings. The body stays PBT in black, the shape and all dimensions match the standard PHF401D, and none of the pressure, vacuum, proof-pressure or temperature ratings change. AirTAC publishes no additional surface treatment or certification figures for the stainless option, so specify it purely on material and fit.
