The AirTAC Airtac PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW1004 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 AirTAC PHW1004 is a double universal male elbow in the resin one-touch range. It joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/2 in PT male thread, and its double universal joint lets you set the outlet angle after installation instead of having to bend or twist the tubing into position.
To make the connection, push the tube straight into the chuck until it bottoms out - the stainless spring gasket and POM chuck grip the OD and seal it. Pressing the release ring frees the tube again for rework. This is the resin spec profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a service temperature of -20 to +70 C. The 1/2 in stud ships with sealant already on the thread, and the body is grey PBT with a brass stud as standard; order PHW1004D for the black version.

The 1/2 in PT male thread lands directly on the outlet port of an air preparation or directional valve manifold, and the universal joint lets the Dia 10 tube leave at whatever angle the cabinet layout demands.
On carton-sealing and case-packing machines, large-bore push cylinders sit behind guards where a rigid elbow would fight the tube. The PHW1004 swivels to line the Dia 10 feed up with the run.
Belt-cleaning and product-blowoff nozzles on conveyor lines are often aimed at an angle; a double universal elbow lets the technician dial in the Dia 10 supply line direction without re-piping the port.
On the 1/2 in thread, PHW is offered in exactly three tube bores: Dia 8 (PHW804), this Dia 10 part, and Dia 12 (PHW1204). Stepping down to Dia 8 buys a slimmer profile for lighter circuits such as pilot air; stepping up to Dia 12 lowers resistance on high-consumption actuators. There is no M5 option anywhere in the PHW series, so small-bore instrument lines should look at PH or PHF instead. Whatever you pick, the tube OD must match the fitting exactly - a Dia 10 chuck will not seal on 3/8 in or 12 mm tube.
Match the 1/2 in thread to the port size, not to habit: many medium cylinders and valve manifolds with a 1/2 in port genuinely need it, but stepping the whole circuit up to 1/2 in fittings adds cost without flow benefit if the tubing is only Dia 8. If you need the same angle-flexibility at a panel wall, a bulkhead union is the wrong shape here - PHW is purely a threaded male elbow.
Quick checklist
This is a resin one-touch double universal male elbow with a Dia 10 mm tube connection and a 1/2 in PT male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it handles vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It takes soft nylon or polyurethane tube only. The body is grey PBT with a brass stud; PHW1004D gives the black colour option.
No - the chuck and seal are sized for one tube OD, so it holds Dia 10 mm tube only and will not seal on 12 mm or on 3/8 in imperial tube. If your run is Dia 8, order PHW804; if it is Dia 12, order PHW1204. Those are the only two neighbours on the 1/2 in thread, since AirTAC lists PHW in 1/2 in for 8, 10 and 12 mm tube and offers no M5 version of this series at all.
