The AirTAC Airtac PEB T-Shaped Straight Thread Tee Connector PEB6M5 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 PEB6M5 is an AirTAC PEB male branch tee: a run of Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube passes straight through the body, and a 90-degree branch with a male M5x0.8 thread takes off at right angles from the same body. It is the natural fitting when you want to tap a signal or pilot line off a main run without adding a separate union and elbow. Push the tube into the port until it bottoms out and the internal chuck grips the OD; press the POM release ring to free it. Unlike the larger threaded sizes, the M5 port is not delivered with pre-applied sealant - it seals with a gasket on the seat, so no tape or dope is needed and none should be added.
This is a resin/brass one-touch part, so it carries the standard resin rating, not the metal BPC line: 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and a -20 to +70 C window. The body is PBT with a brass male stud, a POM button and chuck, an aluminium-alloy guide, a stainless spring gasket and an NBR O-ring. Grey is standard; a D suffix on this family changes the body to black.

Take a 6 mm pilot line at right angles from the M5 outlet of a solenoid manifold on a small pick-and-place unit, keeping the main tube run unbroken through the tee.
Feed a Dia 6 purge or actuation line from an M5 port on compact lab bench equipment, where the gasket-sealed M5 seat avoids thread tape near sensitive optics.
Tap a clean 6 mm supply off a main run to power small air-jet or rejection blow-offs on a horizontal flow-wrapper, using the branch outlet without a second fitting.
On the M5 row of the PEB ladder only two tube sizes exist: Dia 4 and Dia 6. Step down is PEB4M5, which lightens the branch line for very small pilot or sensor feeds; step up from here means leaving M5 entirely, because Dia 8 is not offered on M5 for this prefix. If you need an 8 mm branch off a run, move to PEB801 with its 1/8 in thread. On the same Dia 6 tube, the thread neighbour is PEB601 (1/8 in) - useful when the port is a standard PT tapping rather than a compact M5 manifold port. On the M5 version there is no released larger thread above it; M5 is the smallest entry on the PEB ladder.
Match the tube exactly: a Dia 6 one-touch chuck will not seal or hold 1/4 in (6.35 mm) tube, and forcing the wrong OD is the most common cause of a weeping push-fit. If the branch has to pass through a panel instead of standing off a run, the PMF bulkhead connector is the right shape, not this tee.
Quick checklist
Tube size Dia 6 mm, branch thread M5x0.8 (gasket sealed, PT series family). Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Suitable tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane in Dia 6 OD only. It is a resin/brass one-touch fitting with POM chuck and button, PBT body, brass stud, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring.
No. AirTAC's interface table allows M5 on the PEB prefix for Dia 4 and Dia 6 tube only, so the PEB6M5 is already the larger of the two M5 options. For an 8 mm branch you need the 1/8 in threaded PEB801, and Dia 4 branch lines use PEB4M5. Always match the tube OD to the fitting exactly - the chuck grips one size and one size only.
