The AirTAC Airtac PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW1003-S 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 PHW1003-S is an AirTAC PHW double universal male elbow: a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 3/8in PT male port, with two swivelling joints so the tube can enter at almost any approach angle. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the release ring to free it. The 3/8in thread arrives with sealant already applied.
This is the -S stainless variant of the resin PHW line: on this family the body remains PBT with a SUS304 stud, POM release button and chuck, an aluminium-alloy guide, a stainless spring gasket and an NBR O-ring. Ratings are unchanged from the standard part - 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof, -20 to +70 C. The stud is what earns its keep in corrosive or wash-down air, not a re-rated body.

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.

Two swivel joints let the Dia 10 supply line follow a robot arm through its full articulation without twisting the hose at the cylinder port on the end effector.
On a rotary transfer machine, the clamps index with the table; a double universal elbow at each 3/8in port absorbs the rotation instead of the tubing.
The SUS304 stud on the PHW1003-S resists the splash zone in a food-plant pallet stopper, where a brass stud would corrode under daily caustic rinsing.
In the PHW tube ladder at a 3/8in thread, Dia 10 sits between Dia 8 (PHW803-S) and Dia 12 (PHW1203-S). Stepping down trims the bore for lighter-demand actuators; stepping up suits larger cylinders and longer runs. Note that PHW never came in M5, so a Dia 10 double universal elbow always carries a tapered thread. A useful non-obvious fact: the Dia 10 tube size in this family is also made on the 1/4in and 1/2in threads, so 3/8in is the middle of three thread choices, not the only one.
Match the 3/8in PT stud to the port before anything else, and remember the tube must be exactly Dia 10 - a one-touch chuck sized for 10 mm will not seal on 1/4in (6.35 mm) imperial hose, however close it looks.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It accepts Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on a 3/8in PT male thread. The -S suffix adds a SUS304 stud to the PBT body; the figures above are identical to the standard grey PHW1003.
No. On the PHW family the stainless variant changes the stud to SUS304 while the body stays PBT, with the usual POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring. Buyers choose it for corrosion resistance at the threaded interface, and the pressure and temperature ratings stay exactly the same as the standard part.
