About the Airtac PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW1203
The PHW1203 is an AirTAC PHW double universal male elbow, the only fitting in this one-touch range that bends in two planes at once. One end is a 3/8in male PT thread with sealant already applied at the factory; the other is a push-in socket sized for Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. Because both the elbow body and the threaded stud swivel, you can correct alignment errors in two axes instead of one.
Connection is the standard one-touch action: push the tube fully home and the stainless spring gasket plus chuck grip the outside diameter; press the POM release ring and the tube slides straight back out. This is a resin-profile part, rated 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, down to -750 mmHg vacuum, with 1.5 MPa proof pressure and a -20 to +70 C service window. The PBT body carries a brass stud, and on the PHW series the D suffix changes the whole body colour, not just the button as it does on PC and POC straights.

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 PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW1203 Is Used
Clamp cylinder feed on a pneumatic press
Dia 12 is a main-air bore, and on a press clamp the cylinder port rarely points the way the supply run arrives. The double universal elbow absorbs the offset in both planes without adding a second fitting and a leak point.
Bag-house and dust-collector pulse valves
Pulse-jet cleaning headers use 3/8in pilot ports fed by heavier Dia 12 lines. The swivelling stud lets the fitter square the pulse valve to the header after the tube is already pushed in.
Wiring cabinet air drops through control panels
Where a Dia 12 drop enters a control cabinet and must turn toward a distributor block at a different angle, PHW makes the two-plane turn at the port instead of using an elbow plus a union.
Is the Airtac PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW1203 the Right Part?
At the 3/8in thread position, PHW tops out at Dia 12: one step down on the same thread is the PHW1003 with a Dia 10 bore, which suits lighter cylinder and valve feeds but passes less air through the narrower bore. Stepping up in thread instead, the PHW1204 keeps the same Dia 12 tube on a 1/2in PT port for larger manifold outlets. Note that the PHW ladder starts at 1/8in - there is no M5 version anywhere in the series, so it is not an option for small panel work.
Match the 3/8in PT thread to the port before anything else, and remember the socket takes exactly Dia 12 tubing: a 10 mm or half-inch tube will not seal in this chuck. If your run needs only a single fixed bend, a PL male elbow is simpler; choose PHW when the second plane of swivel is what saves the installation.
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 PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW1203 FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2); negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr); proof pressure 1.5 MPa; operating temperature -20 to +70 C; tubing size Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane; thread 3/8in PT male with factory-applied sealant. The fitting is a resin-profile PHW double universal male elbow with a PBT body and brass stud.
No. The chuck and spring gasket are machined for exactly Dia 12 mm tube and will not grip a 10 mm line. For Dia 10 tube on a 3/8in port use the PHW1003, or keep the Dia 12 tube and change thread with the PHW1204 on 1/2in PT. Always match the tube OD to the fitting code - that is the one dimension you cannot fudge on a one-touch joint.
