The AirTAC Airtac PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW1002D is a genuine double universal male elbow for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PHW1002D is an AirTAC PHW double universal male elbow: a one-touch fitting that connects Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4in PT male thread. Unlike a fixed 90-degree elbow, both tube ends pivot on their own axis, so the male stud and each tube run can be aimed independently - useful when the port and the hose route sit in different planes. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the release ring at that end and the tube frees off.
This is the resin/brass one-touch profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The blank version is grey; on the PHW series the D suffix changes the body colour to black (unlike PC and POC, where D only changes the release button). The 1/4in thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it is ready to wind straight into a PT port.

On a 6-axis robot arm, the gripper valve port and the tube run down the forearm rarely share a plane. The PHW1002D swivels at both Dia 10 tube ends, so the air line reaches the gripper without twisting or side-loading the hose at every wrist rotation.
Sealing jaws on horizontal cartoners sit at rotated angles inside tight guards. A 1/4in PHW1002D stud enters the cylinder port while both Dia 10 tube legs angle away cleanly, freeing the guard to close without the tube fouling the jaw linkage.
Print-head and squeegee cylinders on textile screen printers index repeatedly, and rigid 90-degree elbows telegraph hose twist into the motion. The double universal action absorbs the alignment error so the Dia 10 supply line stays relaxed through every cycle.
Within the 1/4in thread, Dia 10 is the largest tube the PHW ladder offers - the only smaller sibling is PHW802 (Dia 8, 1/4in), which suits lighter-actuation circuits but feeds less air through its narrower bore. To move up from Dia 10 you keep the tube and step the thread instead: PHW1003 (3/8in) or PHW1004 (1/2in) both carry Dia 10 tube. Note the PHW series has no M5 entry at all, so it never appears in mini-port circuits.
Match the stud to the port standard before ordering - this catalogue is PT thread throughout. And match the tube exactly: the Dia 10 chuck will not seal or hold 12 mm or 8 mm tube, and no adapter inside the fitting changes that. If you need only one swivel end, a plain PH universal elbow is the simpler part; choose this double version when both the port angle and the hose approach need correcting.
Quick checklist
It is an AirTAC PHW double universal male elbow for Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube with a 1/4in PT male thread, supplied in black (D suffix). Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it tolerates vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the service temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The thread carries factory-applied sealant.
A PL elbow is fixed at one 90-degree angle, so the port and hose must already line up with that geometry. The PHW1002D pivots at each tube end independently, letting you correct alignment in two planes - ideal when both the machine port and the hose route are off-axis. Each end has its own one-touch chuck and release ring, so either Dia 10 tube can be serviced without disturbing the other.
