About the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1003-S
The AirTAC PED1003-S is a male run tee in the PED one-touch fitting family. It screws a 3/8in PT male thread into a port, grips a Dia 10 mm tube in the run, and offers a Dia 10 mm branch at 90 degrees - so the main air line continues straight through while a single branch feeds off to the side. The -S suffix means the stud is SUS304 stainless steel instead of brass; the tee body itself stays glass-filled PBT, so this is a stud upgrade, not a solid stainless part.
This is a resin and brass line fitting, not the metal BP family: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and -20 to +70 C. To connect, push the Dia 10 mm tube straight into the chuck until it bottoms out - the stainless spring gasket and POM chuck grip it. Press the POM release ring toward the body and the tube pulls free. The 3/8in thread arrives with sealant pre-applied, so it seals straight into a PT port without extra tape.

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.

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 PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1003-S Is Used
Palletizer air drop
On a palletizing cell, the run tee carries the Dia 10 mm main line straight down the machine frame while the 90 degree branch feeds a vacuum or gripper circuit without adding a separate coupling.
Automotive fixture clamping
At a machining or assembly fixture, the 3/8in PT stud screws into the manifold port and the branch drops Dia 10 mm supply to a swing clamp, keeping the run intact for the next station.
Washdown food line branch
In a food-plant air ring washed down daily, the SUS304 stud stands up to moisture and cleaning agents where a plain brass stud would dull and corrode at the port seal.
Is the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1003-S the Right Part?
On the PED 3/8in thread row you can step down to the PED803 (Dia 8 mm) or up to the PED1203 (Dia 12 mm). Dropping to Dia 8 trims the bore for lighter draws like pilot-air branches; stepping to Dia 12 suits the main feed of a larger machine. AirTAC also offers the PKD10-803 male reducer triple branch, which keeps a Dia 10 mm run but steps the branch down to Dia 8 - useful when one leg feeds a smaller actuator. Always match tube OD exactly: a Dia 10 mm chuck will not hold 3/8in imperial tube, which is 9.5 mm and roughly half a millimetre too small to seal.
Match the 3/8in PT thread to a port tapped for it; on smaller ports the PED ladder also offers 1/4in (up to Dia 12) and M5 (Dia 4 or 6 only). Note that M5 sizes seal with a gasket rather than the pre-applied thread sealant used on the pipe-thread sizes.
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 PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1003-S FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a working temperature of -20 to +70 C. It joins a Dia 10 mm tube to a 3/8in PT male thread. The -S variant carries the same ratings as the standard PED1003 - only the stud material changes to SUS304.
No. The chuck and seal are cut for exactly 10 mm outside diameter, while 3/8in tube measures about 9.5 mm, so it will not seal or lock. Use soft nylon or polyurethane tube marked Dia 10 mm. Also note that even on the -S version the release ring and chuck remain POM resin - only the threaded stud is SUS304.
