About the Airtac PHV Hand Valve Connector PHV10AD
The PHV10AD is a manual finger valve, not a speed controller. A quarter turn of the cap by hand opens or closes the line completely, so it is the part to reach for when an operator needs positive isolation of a Dia 10 soft nylon or polyurethane run. Because this is the A version, the valve is 3-port: when you shut it, the outlet side vents to atmosphere, so air trapped downstream escapes instead of staying stored in the actuator and tubing.
The D suffix at the end of the code means the body is black rather than the standard grey. AirTAC specifies the PHV family with no brass content, which makes it a natural fit on circuits where copper or copper ions would cause contamination or catalyse reactions - plating lines, electronics assembly and similar environments. Rated from a full vacuum of -750 mmHg (10 Torr) up to 1.0 MPa, it can sit on pressure or vacuum circuits alike.

Fitting & Sealing Notes
- check Cut the tube square and clean before pushing it home, or the seal will leak.
- check Push until it stops, then pull back to check the chuck has gripped.
- check To release, press the collet ring fully in and pull the tube out.
- check Threaded parts arrive with sealant on the thread; M5 sizes use a sealing gasket.
- check Match the tube OD exactly - a 6 mm fitting will not hold 1/4" tube.
Where the Airtac PHV Hand Valve Connector PHV10AD Is Used
Plating and surface treatment lines
On a copper-free plating or etching line, the brass-free PHV10AD lets a technician isolate the rinse and blow-off header at Dia 10 before opening a guard, and the A-type port vents the line instead of holding pressure at the nozzles.
Vacuum sheet handling on a nesting router
A vacuum cup array on a CNC nesting table holds MDF sheets during cutting. The PHV10AD in the Dia 10 vacuum run gives the operator a one-finger dump of the holding vacuum between sheets, down to the -750 mmHg (10 Torr) range.
Service isolation on a packaging machine
During changeover on a cartoning machine, a black-bodied PHV10AD at the branch feeding gripper cylinders lets maintenance staff shut and vent one Dia 10 leg while the rest of the machine stays live.
Is the Airtac PHV Hand Valve Connector PHV10AD the Right Part?
PHV valves exist in Dia 6, 8, 10 and 12. Stepping down to PHV8A (or PHV8AD in black) buys a smaller, lighter body for tight panels; stepping up to PHV12A adds bore for heavier supply runs feeding multiple drops. Capacity rises with the tube bore, so match the valve to the largest tube in the run it controls rather than the actuator port alone.
Choose the A type when the trapped volume must be dumped - a cylinder or vacuum cup that an operator will approach after shutdown. Choose the B (2-port) version only where a closed, non-venting isolation is wanted and downstream bleed is handled elsewhere. Mount the valve where a hand can reach it without tools, ideally at the point of use so a single turn isolates the whole branch.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Tube outside diameter matches exactly
- ✓ Thread size and standard match the port
- ✓ Working pressure within 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2)
- ✓ Temperature within -20 to +70 °C
Airtac PHV Hand Valve Connector PHV10AD FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), usable down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. It takes Dia 10 soft nylon or polyurethane tube on both sides, has no threaded port, and is the 3-port A type whose outlet vents when closed. The D suffix denotes a black body, and the family is built without brass.
No. The PHV is a quarter-turn on/off valve and gives no throttling at all. Use it to isolate and vent a circuit, and fit a speed controller such as a PSL or PSS on the cylinder ports for speed adjustment. Note too that unlike a speed controller, which leaks slightly when fully closed by design, the PHV gives a positive shut-off.
