The AirTAC Airtac PHW F Thread Swivel Tee Fitting PHW804-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 PHW804-S is an AirTAC PHW double universal male elbow in the SUS304 stainless variant, joining Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/2in PT male thread. Two pivoting joints let the threaded end and the tube end rotate independently, so the tubing can leave at an angle that no fixed elbow could reach. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it; press the release ring and it frees again.
In the -S grade of the PHW family the body stays PBT and the male stud is SUS304 stainless steel - the shape and dimensions match the standard grey part exactly. The spec profile is the standard resin line: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -20 to +70 C. The 1/2in thread arrives pre-coated with thread sealant, so it seals straight into the port.

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 6-axis robot servicing a stamping press, air lines must clear the wrist through its full rotation. The PHW804-S double swivel at a Dia 8 drop lets the 1/2in stud stay bolted to the end-of-arm tooling while the tubing re-orientates with every axis move.
Rotary filler carousels twist continuously, and a rigid elbow fatigues the tube where it meets the valve manifold. This fitting absorbs that twist: the 1/2in thread stays fixed to the manifold plate while the Dia 8 tube leg swings with the carousel.
Loom gantries pack actuator ports behind moving harnesses, and a 1/2in port often faces the wrong way for a straight drop. The double universal joint folds the Dia 8 line into the cable tray without kinking it at the elbow.
This is the smallest tube that AirTAC makes on a PHW with a 1/2in thread - the 1/2in row of the interface table starts at Dia 8 and runs to Dia 12. If your line is Dia 6, step down to a 3/8in thread, which supports Dia 6 through 12 on this prefix. Stepping the tube up to Dia 10 on the same 1/2in thread buys you a stiffer line and more bore for long runs to a large-bore actuator.
Match the 1/2in stud to a genuine 1/2in PT port and nothing else - the sealant, not a separate tape or gasket, does the sealing. If your routing problem is a fixed right angle rather than an adjustable one, a PL or PLL elbow is simpler and cheaper; choose PHW only when the tube genuinely has to swivel in two planes.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. It joins Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/2in PT male thread with pre-applied sealant. In this SUS304 variant the stud is stainless steel 304 and the body remains PBT; the ratings are identical to the standard grey part.
A plain PL elbow gives one fixed 90-degree turn, which is wrong when the port angle and the tube run disagree. The PHW804-S has two swivel joints, so you set the stud orientation on the 1/2in port and independently aim the Dia 8 tube where the route needs it - useful on moving or skewed assemblies. Note that on this prefix the 1/2in thread only exists in Dia 8, 10 and 12, so a Dia 6 line would need the 3/8in version instead.
