The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1003 is a genuine male run tee for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PED1003 is an AirTAC PED male run tee, a one-touch fitting that takes Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing into a 3/8in PT male thread while offering a second push-in port in line with the through-run. The main airflow passes straight through the tee and the branch drops at 90 degrees, so the part behaves like a threaded coupling with a tee-off point built in.
To make the joint, push the Dia 10 tube firmly into the chuck until it bottoms out - the stainless spring gasket and POM chuck grip it against the aluminium guide sleeve. Pressing the POM release ring frees the tube again. As a resin-line fitting it is rated 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) and -20 to +70 C, and the 3/8in male thread arrives with sealant pre-applied.

Tee a Dia 10 branch directly off a 3/8in ported manifold run feeding a bank of solenoid valves, keeping the trunk straight so the next station taps the same line.
Run the main supply across the machine frame and use the in-line thread plus push-in branch to feed a vacuum ejector on a carton-forming head without a separate elbow.
Add a Dia 10 service point for a cab air tool or gauge from an existing 3/8in supply run, screwed straight onto the routed pipe so the main flow is untouched.
The run-tee geometry matters when your branch must sit exactly on the axis of the main line - ideal for dropping a feed straight down from a horizontal trunk without adding an elbow. If you want the branch at a 45-degree Y angle instead, the PYB1003 is the equivalent shape, and the PEB1003 male branch tee puts the branch perpendicular with the thread on that leg rather than in the run.
On the size ladder, PED 3/8in parts exist in Dia 6, 8, 10 and 12. Stepping down to PED803 shrinks the bore and the push-in grip for lighter branch loads; stepping up to PED1203 suits higher-flow trunk lines. Whatever you order, the tube OD must match the fitting exactly - a Dia 6 tube will not seal in this Dia 10 chuck.
Quick checklist
It is an AirTAC PED male run tee with Dia 10 mm push-in tube ports and a 3/8in PT male thread on the run. Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, negative pressure to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), temperature -20 to +70 C. It suits soft nylon or polyurethane tubing and the male thread ships with sealant applied. Body material is PBT with a brass stud and a POM release button.
In the PED1003 the male thread lies in the through-run, so the screw-in connection sits on the main flow axis and the push-in branch exits at 90 degrees. On the PEB branch tee the thread is on the branch leg instead. Choose the run-tee form when the tapped port in your machine must stay in line with the trunk pipe; choose the branch form when the wall port is perpendicular to the run.
