The AirTAC Airtac PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW1004D-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 PHW1004D-S is an AirTAC PHW series double universal male elbow: a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/2in PT male thread and pivots in two planes. Push the tube home and the internal chuck with its stainless spring gasket grips it for a pressure-tight seal; press the POM release ring and the tube frees again for repositioning. The D suffix makes this the black-body version rather than the standard grey.
The trailing -S fits a SUS304 stainless steel stud, so the stainless sits exactly where the thread meets the machine port while the elbow body itself remains PBT. Ratings are unchanged from the standard resin line: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. Threads arrive with sealant pre-applied, and the double swivel means you can tighten the 1/2in thread first and then swing the tube leg into line. Note that PHW is never offered in M5 or as a mini series - 1/8in is the smallest thread in the family.

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.

A Dia 10 line feeding the large gripper cylinder of a palletising robot benefits from the double universal elbow: the tube leg swings as the arm articulates instead of loading the hose sideways against the 1/2in port.
On a food-plant conveyor actuator, the SUS304 stud at the threaded port resists wash-down corrosion where the fitting meets the machine, while the black PBT body wipes down without rust streaking.
A 1/2in PT port on a large packaging-machine valve manifold rarely leaves the thread at the ideal angle; the double swivel takes up that misalignment so the Dia 10 tube can route cleanly to the actuator.
Dia 10 is the middle step of the PHW 1/2in ladder: PHW804D-S drops to Dia 8 for lighter lines, while PHW1204D-S steps up to Dia 12 where the larger bore carries more flow to big-bore actuators. Stay on Dia 10 tube but facing a smaller port? PHW1003D-S changes the thread to 3/8in and PHW1002D-S to 1/4in - both exist in the PHW table. Tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 10 one-touch chuck will not grip 3/8in (9.5 mm) hose or 12 mm tube.
Choose PHW over a plain PL elbow when the fitting has to rotate after installation - two swivel joints absorb thread-start orientation and machine movement. If the run needs a branch or a tee instead, the PED male run tee or PYB branch Y is the right shape, not this elbow.
Quick checklist
It is a Dia 10 mm double universal male elbow with a 1/2in PT male thread, in the black-body variant with a SUS304 stainless stud. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and service temperature -20 to +70 C with soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. AirTAC publishes flow only as a characteristic curve, so capacity should be judged by the Dia 10 bore rather than a quoted number.
No. On the PHW family the -S option converts the male stud to SUS304; the elbow body stays PBT and the release button stays POM. Pressure, temperature and dimensions are identical to the standard PHW1004D, and AirTAC publishes no corrosion class, passivation spec or food certification for the stainless option - so do not expect a documented rating beyond the material itself.
