The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1004D 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 PED1004D is an AirTAC male run tee in the one-touch fitting family: a Dia 10 mm tube socket on the run, a second Dia 10 mm socket on the 90 degree branch, and a 1/2in male PT thread on the base. Unlike a branch tee, a run tee carries the main line straight through its body and simply taps off sideways, which keeps flow direction cleaner on a long supply run.
To connect, push the tube firmly into the socket until it bottoms out - the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip the OD instantly and seal around it. Press the release ring inward and the tube slides free. This is the resin spec profile: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -20 to +70 C. The D suffix makes the body black rather than the standard grey, useful on dark machine frames where a grey fitting stands out. The 1/2in thread arrives pre-coated with sealant, so in most cases no extra tape is needed on assembly.

On a pick-and-place robot arm, a 10 mm supply run reaches the wrist and this run tee passes it straight through while the branch drops 90 degrees to a compact gripper cylinder - one fitting instead of an elbow-plus-tee chain, saving height inside the wrist shroud.
A 1/2in PT outlet on a solenoid valve manifold or filter-regulator becomes a distribution point: the run continues to the next machine section at 10 mm, and the branch feeds a local air gun or blow-off nozzle without re-plumbing the trunk.
Along aluminium conveyor extrusion, the black body blends into dark anodised frames. The through-run carries a 10 mm main to the far end of the conveyor while the threaded base screws directly into a port on the drive section's pneumatic panel.
On the 1/2in thread, AirTAC makes the PED in exactly three tube bores: Dia 8, Dia 10 and Dia 12. Step down to PED804 when the branch feeds smaller actuators or you want a lighter fitting on a 8 mm line; step up to PED1204 when the main run is a 12 mm trunk that has to carry more volume downstream. Flow capacity follows the bore, so the 10 mm socket here is the middle path.
Match the thread to the port first: 1/2in PT suits larger valve manifolds, cylinder ports and air-preparation outlets. If you only need a single 90 degree turn with no through-run, a PL male elbow is the simpler part; if all three legs meet at a point, that is a PEB branch tee instead. And always check the tube, not just the thread: this socket is cut for 10 mm OD only, so 12 mm or 8 mm tube will not seat or seal in it.
Quick checklist
It is a resin-body male run tee joining Dia 10 mm tube on two legs to a 1/2in male PT thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and temperature range -20 to +70 C. It suits soft nylon or polyurethane tubing, and the PT thread arrives pre-coated with sealant.
Yes. A PEB branch tee has all three connections meeting at one junction, so the tube path turns twice. A PED run tee like this one lets the tube pass straight through the body from socket to socket, with the thread branch at 90 degrees. Choose the run tee when your main supply line should continue unbroken and you only need to tap a side feed - it also makes future tube replacement easier because the run pulls out axially without disturbing the branch.
