The AirTAC Airtac PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW602D 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 PHW602D is an AirTAC double universal male elbow: a swivel male elbow that joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/4in PT male port, finished in black because the D suffix changes the body as well as the button on this series. Where a fixed elbow forces the tube to bend into position, the PHW gives you two points of articulation - the threaded stud can be screwed in at whatever angle the port sits, and the tube end can then be swung to point the hose exactly where it needs to run.
Connection is the standard resin one-touch method: push the tube fully home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip the OD, pull the release ring to let it go. This is the resin and brass profile, not the metal BPC line - working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a working temperature of -20 to +70 C. The threaded portion arrives with sealant already applied, so it is ready to install on the PT port without extra tape.

On an indexing dial or rotary table the pneumatic port turns with the fixture. The swivelling thread of the PHW602D lets the supply hose stay static while the fitting takes up the angle, protecting the Dia 6 hose from constant torsion at the chuck.
A vacuum or gripper wrist changes orientation every cycle. Fitting a PHW602D at the wrist port in 1/4in PT lets the Dia 6 line run straight to the cable track instead of looping around the elbow, reducing snag risk inside the guard.
Air-jet blow-off and cooling nozzles on form-fill-seal machines often mount at odd angles above the film web. The double articulation points the Dia 6 tube neatly back along the frame regardless of how the 1/4in PT nozzle port is clocked.
Dia 6 is the smallest tube that the PHW family offers in a 1/4in thread - the 1/4in row runs 6, 8 and 10 mm only, so there is nothing below this size on 1/4in. If you need smaller tubing, the correct move is a thread change, not a tube change: PHW in 1/8in starts at Dia 4. Stepping up from this SKU takes you to the PHW802 (Dia 8, 1/4in), which gives a larger bore for runs feeding bigger cylinders or longer hose lengths. Remember that the tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 6 chuck will not seal on 1/4in (6.35 mm) imperial hose.
Choose the double universal shape over a plain PL elbow when the port itself is not square to the hose run, or when the assembly rotates or is serviced often: a fixed elbow transmits every misalignment into the tube and the seal, while this one absorbs it. Note that the PHW series has no M5 version at all, so it is not a candidate for very small valve ports.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2); negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr); proof pressure 1.5 MPa; working temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4in PT male thread. It is a resin and brass one-touch part with POM button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide and NBR O-ring, in the black D finish, which on the PHW series changes the body colour as well as the release button.
Yes, and that is precisely its purpose. Screw the 1/4in PT stud into the port with sealant already on the threads, clocking it as the port dictates, then swing the tube end to the angle your Dia 6 hose needs. Both joints swivel, so residual misalignment between the port and the hose run is absorbed by the fitting rather than by side load on the tube seal. Just keep the working temperature within -20 to +70 C, the limit of the resin body.
