The AirTAC Airtac PHF Tandem Toggle Joint PHF6M5-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 PHF6M5-S is an AirTAC universal female elbow from the resin one-touch range, joining Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to an M5x0.8 female port. The female thread swivels on the elbow body, so you can hold the hex with a spanner and rotate the elbow to face the tube run exactly where the routing needs it. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the release ring to free it.
This -S variant carries a SUS304 stainless stud; the elbow body itself remains PBT, so it is best read as a stainless-threaded fitting rather than a solid stainless part. Ratings are the standard resin-profile figures: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg vacuum, -20 to +70 C. One fitting detail worth knowing: at M5 the port is sealed by a gasket, not by pre-applied thread sealant, so do not add paste or tape to the M5 end.

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.

On small pick-and-place grippers where the air port is an M5 tapped hole on the side of the body, the swivel female thread lets the Dia 6 supply line leave at whatever angle clears the wiring loom and the part nest.
Multi-stage ejector blocks on packaging lines often take their pilot supply through M5 ports in confined rows; a female elbow lets each Dia 6 nylon drop leave perpendicular to the block instead of along it, keeping tube bends gentle.
Where a pressure switch or gauge threads into a machine manifold at M5 and the run has to climb into a control section, the swivel elbow takes the Dia 6 sensing line upward without fighting the switch body orientation.
On the PHF ladder, M5 is offered in Dia 4 and Dia 6 only, so this Dia 6 version is the largest tube the M5 thread supports - if you need Dia 8 or above on the same port family, step up to PHF601 with a 1/8" female thread. The size down, PHF4M5-S, halves the bore and suits signal lines and small pilot circuits rather than actuator supply. Whichever you pick, the tube OD must match the fitting exactly: a Dia 6 chuck will not seal on 1/4" (6.35 mm) imperial tube.
Choose a universal elbow over a fixed PL when the port orientation is awkward or the fitting must be installed with the nut facing a fixed direction; if the port is male instead of female, the PH male elbow or a PL with the thread pre-formed is the shorter route.
Quick checklist
It is an AirTAC universal female elbow taking Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube into an M5x0.8 female thread, sealed at the M5 end by a gasket. Working pressure is 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and the working temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix means the stud is SUS304 stainless; the elbow body stays PBT, and none of the pressure or temperature figures change from the standard version.
A female M5 port lets you screw the fitting straight onto a male stud on a cylinder, valve or manifold, with the gasket doing the sealing instead of thread sealant. Because the thread swivels on the elbow, you can tighten the nut in the orientation the port demands and still point the Dia 6 tube run any direction you need - on crowded multi-valve manifolds this removes the twisted-tube problem that fixed elbows create.
