About the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1003D-S
The PED1003D-S is an AirTAC male run tee: a fitting whose threaded stud sits in line with two of its three ports, so the main tube run passes straight through while the 3/8in PT male stud branches off at 90 degrees. All three tube ports take Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing on a one-touch basis - push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it, press the POM release ring to free it. The D suffix makes the body black, and on this series that colour change applies to the fitting body itself, not just the button.
This is the -S variant: the body stays engineering PBT exactly like the standard part, but the central stud is SUS304 stainless steel, which is what sees the wrench and the port threads. The rating set is the standard resin profile, unchanged by the stud material: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum capability, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -20 to +70 C. The 3/8in thread arrives pre-coated with sealant, ready to wind into a PT port.

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 PED1003D-S Is Used
Packaging machine trunk line
Running a Dia 10 nylon trunk along the frame of a carton-sealing machine and teeing off through the 3/8in stud to feed a case-eject cylinder, while the main run continues undisturbed to the next station.
Washdown area on a food line
In a dairy plant zone hosed down daily, the SUS304 stud resists corrosion at the port threads where moisture collects, while the PBT body shrugs off cleaning splash on the Dia 10 drops to a filler gate actuator.
Conveyor stop gate circuit
Feeding pneumatic stop gates along a bottling conveyor from a single Dia 10 run, using each run tee's in-line path so one branch per gate keeps the air line daisy-chaining cleanly between stations.
Is the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1003D-S the Right Part?
On the 3/8in thread rung of the PED ladder, Dia 10 sits between PED803 (Dia 8 tube) below and PED1203 (Dia 12 tube) above - both are real catalogue parts. Stepping down to Dia 8 buys a slightly tidier bend radius and lower tube cost; stepping up to Dia 12 moves more air per metre of run, which matters on long trunk lines feeding several drops. On the same Dia 10 tube, the thread also exists as PED1002 (1/4in) and PED1004 (1/2in), so match the stud to the port you actually have rather than adapting with bushings.
Tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 10 one-touch chuck will not seal reliably on 3/8in or 12 mm tube, and no shim fixes that. If you need the branch to pass through a panel wall instead of hanging off it, that is a job for the PMF bulkhead connector, not this tee.
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 PED1003D-S FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. All three tube ports accept Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing, and the male stud is 3/8in PT. These figures are identical to the standard PED1003D - the SUS304 stud changes the material, not the rating.
No. On the PED family, -S means the central stud is SUS304; the tee body remains PBT with POM release buttons and an NBR seal inside the chuck. That is why the pressure and temperature figures stay the same as the standard part. Buy this variant for a corrosion-resistant thread interface in damp or wash-prone locations, not for an all-metal body.
