The AirTAC Airtac PEB T-Shaped Straight Thread Tee Connector PEB402-S is a genuine male branch tee for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PEB402-S is AirTAC's PEB male branch tee in the stainless-stud variant. It takes Dia 4 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing into the branch and carries a male 1/4in PT thread for the run through the tee, letting you split a single supply line into two directions from one fitting. Installation is one-touch: push the tube fully home and the internal chuck grips it under the spring gasket; press the release ring and the tube frees for repositioning. The 1/4in PT thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals straight into the port without extra tape.
This is the resin/brass one-touch profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. With the -S suffix the main body stays PBT and the male stud is SUS304, which is where this fitting earns its place: the thread that sits in a corrosive or wash-exposed port is stainless, while the proven PBT tee body keeps the standard ratings and dimensions identical to the grey PEB402.

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 pick-and-place robot arm, tee the supply line right at the wrist: the 1/4in PT stud screws into the manifold port and the Dia 4 branch runs a short length to a small parallel gripper, all inside the tight envelope behind the tool plate.
In a laboratory gas analyser or sample-handling skid, the SUS304 stud resists corrosion in a cabinet that sees condensation or mild reagents, while the Dia 4 branch feeds low-flow tubing to a sensor or ejector.
Use the branch tee at a valve island on a carton wrapper to split one pilot line into two cylinder signals. The one-touch release lets technicians re-route the Dia 4 pilot tubing during changeover without tools.
This SKU sits at the small end of the PEB ladder in two directions. On the tube side, Dia 4 is the smallest branch the 1/4in thread takes - the next step up is PEB602 (Dia 6), which buys a slightly larger bore and more capacity to the branch run. On the thread side, the step down is PEB401, the same Dia 4 branch on an M5x0.8 port with a sealing gasket instead of a tapered thread; it is the pick when the manifold port is tiny. If the port is 1/4in, PEB402 is the entry point.
Match the thread to the port, not the tubing: a 1/4in PT stud in a 1/8in port will not seal, and no reducer in this series bridges tapered-thread sizes. And remember the tube rule - Dia 4 means exactly Dia 4 OD. A fitting sized for 4 mm tube will not grip 1/4in (6.35 mm) Imperial tube, so measure the OD before ordering.
Quick checklist
It is a one-touch male branch tee joining Dia 4 mm tube to a 1/4in PT male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure goes to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The tube side accepts soft nylon or polyurethane tubing only. The -S version keeps these figures identical to the standard PEB402; only the stud material changes to SUS304.
No. On the PEB family, the -S option makes the male stud SUS304 while the tee body remains PBT - so the pressure, vacuum and temperature ratings are exactly the same as the standard grey part. If you need a fully stainless body rather than a stainless stud, that construction exists only on the PC and POC straight connectors in this catalogue, not on branch tees.
