The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1003D 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 PED1003D is an AirTAC male run tee from the PED one-touch family, supplied in black (the D suffix). It carries a 3/8in PT male thread in the run with two Dia 10 mm tube ports, so a single threaded port on a valve, manifold or FRL outlet can feed a straight-through line and a 90 degree branch without extra junction fittings.
This is the resin and brass profile, not the metal BPC line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. To connect, push soft nylon or PU tube into the port until it bottoms; the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip the tube, and pressing the POM release ring frees it again. The thread arrives with sealant already applied, so no extra tape or paste is needed.

A 3/8in thread at the FRL outlet continues the main Dia 10 supply straight down the rail while the branch port feeds a gripper or gate cylinder at one station, using one fitting instead of a tee plus a connector.
On a compressed air ring main serving saws and sanders, the run tee taps a Dia 10 branch off the 3/8in through-line to feed a bench regulator, keeping the main flow uninterrupted.
Where a valve manifold carries a 3/8in PT outlet, this black run tee splits supply to a counterbalance circuit while the straight run continues to a downstream actuator, all push-fit for fast servicing.
Within the PED ladder, stepping from this Dia 10 tee down to PED803D drops the bore, which increases velocity and pressure drop on the same flow demand and suits shorter branch runs. Stepping up to PED1203D adds bore for longer lines or higher draw at the same 3/8in thread. If the port is smaller, PED1002 in 1/4in keeps the 10 mm tube; for a 1/2in port, PED1004 also accepts Dia 10. Every tube port takes Dia 10 OD tubing only - a 3/8in imperial tube will not seal in a 10 mm port, so match the OD exactly.
A run tee is the right shape when the flow should continue straight past the branch, for example along a machine rail. If you need the threaded port turned 90 degrees instead, the PEB male branch tee points the thread sideways; PL gives a two-way elbow rather than a tee.
Quick checklist
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. Tube ports: Dia 10 mm OD (soft nylon or polyurethane). Thread: 3/8in PT male, supplied with sealant on the thread. Finish: black, per the D suffix. The thread standard on this catalogue is PT throughout.
On the PED family the D suffix makes the whole fitting black, not just the release button as on the PC and POC connectors, so it is easy to colour-code a machine circuit. Use soft nylon or polyurethane tube with a true 10 mm outside diameter; the chuck grips the OD, so any oversize or imperial tube will not seat past the spring gasket and will leak or blow off.
