The AirTAC Airtac PE Tee Connector PE10 is a genuine union tee for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The AirTAC PE10 is a PE union tee, a tube-to-tube one-touch fitting with three push-in sockets and no threaded port at all. Each leg accepts the same Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing, so a single supply line can be split into two equal branches with one part. Push the tube home and the POM chuck grips it against the stainless spring gasket; press the release ring down toward the body and the tube slides free. The NBR O-ring does the sealing, not glue or clamps.
This belongs to AirTAC's resin fitting profile, not the metal BPC line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a working temperature of -20 to +70 C. The standard body colour is grey, and on the PE series a -D suffix changes the whole body to black, not just the release button as it does on PC and POC connectors.

A Dia 10 supply run on a bottle-rinse conveyor splits into two equal air knife feeds at one PE10 tee, keeping both nozzles at the same pressure without a second regulator.
At the end effector of a pick-and-place robot, a PE10 tees the incoming Dia 10 polyurethane line into two identical drops feeding left and right gripper cylinders.
On a carton taping machine, the Dia 10 main line branches through a PE10 to feed the two presser cylinders on either side of the sealing head, so both fire together.
In the PE union tee ladder, PE8 sits directly below and PE12 directly above this part. PE8 halves the effective flow demand of a 10 mm leg and suits smaller actuators; PE12 carries more air per metre of tube at the same pressure drop, so long branch runs benefit from the step up. Every PE union tee is same-diameter on all three legs - if one branch must drop to Dia 6 or Dia 8, use a PEG or PEW different-diameter tee instead.
Match the shape, not just the size: a PV union elbow turns a corner in tighter space than a tee, and a PM bulkhead union passes a Dia 10 line through a panel wall with its M20x1 locknut. One caution worth printing on the job sheet: 3/8 inch tubing measures roughly 9.5 mm OD, so it is NOT a substitute for Dia 10. A PE10 will not seal on it and the tube can blow off under pressure. Tube OD must match exactly.
Quick checklist
It is a Dia 10 mm union tee, Dia 10 on all three legs with no thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it can be pulled to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the working temperature range is -20 to +70 C. This is the resin profile; the metal BPC-family parts are rated differently, at 0.9 MPa and up to 150 C.
No. The PE union tee grips only Dia 10 mm OD tubing on every leg, and a Dia 8 or Dia 6 tube will not seat in the chuck. If one branch needs a smaller bore, order a PEG or PEW different-diameter tee instead, which is built for exactly that transition.
