The AirTAC Airtac PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW1203-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 PHW1203-S is AirTAC's double universal male elbow in the stainless-stud one-touch range. It connects Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 3/8in PT male thread, and unlike a fixed elbow its two joints each swivel independently, so the fitting can be set to a compound angle to line up with the tube run instead of forcing the hose into a bend.
Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the release ring to free it. This resin-family part is rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof, vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) and -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix fits a SUS304 stud while the body stays glass-filled PBT, so every rating above is unchanged from the standard PHW1203. The PT thread arrives with sealant already applied.

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.

On a six-axis robot's end-of-arm air lines, the fitting swivels at both joints to follow a compound path around the forearm without kinking the Dia 12 supply hose.
Feeding a core-pull cylinder port angled between the tie bars of a clamp unit, the double universal joint reaches the port at its own axis instead of a fixed 90 degrees.
On a bottling rotary filler carriage, the swivelling elbow connects the Dia 12 drop from the distribution ring to a vacuum ejector or gripper cylinder at an offset angle.
Step down to PHW1003 for a Dia 10 tube on the same 3/8in thread, or up to PHW1204 if the port is 1/2in PT - at Dia 12 the PHW ladder tops out on tube size, and 1/4in PT is not offered at this diameter, so 3/8in and 1/2in are your only port choices here. Tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 12 chuck will not seal on 1/4in or 1/2in hose.
Choose this double-universal shape over a plain PL elbow when the tube approach direction is not fixed - two pivot points let one fitting absorb a misaligned drop. If the tube passes through a panel rather than ending at a port, a bulkhead type such as PM is the correct alternative.
Quick checklist
It is a double universal male elbow for Dia 12 mm tube with a 3/8in PT male thread and a SUS304 stud (body remains PBT). Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane and the thread ships with sealant pre-applied.
A standard elbow presents the tube at one fixed angle. The PHW's two independent swivel joints let you align the outlet to the actual tube run, which removes side load from the tube and the chuck seat - useful where the port and the hose route do not line up in two planes at once.
