About the Airtac PE Tee Connector PE6
The AirTAC PE6 is a union tee from the PE series: three push-in legs, all sized for Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube, joining in one moulded PBT body. Because all three ports are tube ports, the fitting screws into nothing - it lives inline wherever a single 6 mm run has to divide into two, without a threaded tee, extra nipples or sealant. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck jaws lock it; press the POM release ring toward the body and the tube slides free again.
The PE6 runs on AirTAC's standard resin one-touch profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), 1.5 MPa proof pressure, vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) and a -20 to +70 C temperature window. Inside, an aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring do the sealing work. The body arrives in grey; the D-ordering suffix changes the body colour to black on this series if your panel scheme calls for it.

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 PE Tee Connector PE6 Is Used
Thermoformer vacuum branch
Splitting a 6 mm vacuum line three ways above the forming die of a small blister packer. The -750 mmHg (10 Torr) rating means the tee holds under the full draw of a single-stage ejector, not just under pressure.
Carton-taping head feed
A 6 mm supply run along a carton sealer that needs to keep going to the next station while dropping a branch to the tape-actuation cylinder. The union tee makes the split inline with zero threaded joints to work loose under machine vibration.
Bench-top pneumatic prototype
Rigging a lab test stand where three 6 mm polyurethane lines from a manifold, a regulator and a test cylinder meet. Push-in release lets you re-plumb the layout between trials without cutting tube or chasing sealant.
Is the Airtac PE Tee Connector PE6 the Right Part?
The PE6 sits mid-ladder. Step down to PE4 when you are branching thin 4 mm pilot lines where bundle space is tight, or up to PE8 when the legs feed actuators that draw more air - the bigger bore buys capacity at the same pressure without changing the fitting's footprint much. Stay on PE6 whenever the run is already 6 mm tube: unlike a reducer, every leg of this tee is one size, so there is no stepping up or down inside the body.
Match the tee to the tubing, not the port: all three legs take exactly Dia 6 mm OD tube, so a 1/4 in (6.35 mm) tube will not seat and a 6 mm metric line will not grip in an imperial-catalogue part. If you actually need to land one leg on a threaded port instead, that is the PEB male branch tee in the same catalogue - same 6 mm logic, but with a PT stud.
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 PE Tee Connector PE6 FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum capability -750 mmHg (10 Torr), operating temperature -20 to +70 C. All three legs accept Dia 6 mm OD soft nylon or polyurethane tube. The fitting is threaded on no port - it is a pure tube-to-tube union tee.
No. There is no thread anywhere on the part, so no PTFE tape or sealant is involved - that also removes a leak path. Installation is push-fit: square-cut the 6 mm tube, push it into each leg until it bottoms, and the chuck grips it. To remove a line, press the release ring evenly toward the body before pulling the tube out.
