About the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1203
The PED1203 is an AirTAC PED male run tee, a one-touch fitting that splices into a 12mm supply line without breaking the flow. Unlike the PEB branch tee, the male thread on a run tee sits in-line with the straight-through bore, so the main 12mm line continues uninterrupted while a third leg drops off at 90 degrees to a 3/8in PT male port.
Tube installation is one-handed: push the 12mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing into the chuck until it bottoms, and the stainless spring gasket grips it; press the POM release ring and the tube slides free. This resin and brass member of the range is rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C. The body is PBT on a brass stud, grey as standard, and the 3/8in thread arrives from the factory with sealant already applied.

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 PED1203 Is Used
Splicing a valve manifold into a main supply run
On a cartoning machine the 12mm nylon trunk line runs the length of the frame; PED1203 lets the trunk continue straight through while its 3/8in PT thread taps the run directly into the valve manifold inlet.
Drop leg to a take-off robot gripper
Injection moulding take-out robots feed grippers from a single supply line; the run tee keeps the main feed intact and the 90-degree leg drops 12mm tube down to the gripper cylinder without an extra elbow.
Gate clamp circuit on a bottling line
Dairy bottle lines gate crates with small air cylinders; the in-line thread positions the tee exactly at the clamp station, and the PBT body wipes clean between wash shifts at this 70 C ceiling.
Is the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1203 the Right Part?
On the PED 3/8in thread ladder, PED1203 is the largest tube size offered - the only step available is down to Dia 10 (PED1003), which suits lighter actuators but carries correspondingly less air to the same valve. If your port is larger, stay at Dia 12 and move to the 1/2in thread version (PED1204) instead of hunting for a bigger tube; PED 3/8in in Dia 12 is the ceiling of this ladder.
Match the male thread to a female 3/8in PT port and hand-tighten on the factory sealant. The chuck grips Dia 12 tube only - a 12.7mm (1/2in) imperial tube will not seat, and a Dia 10 tube will blow off. Choose PED over PEB whenever the thread must sit in the through-path of the line; choose PMF or PLM only when the fitting has to pass through a panel wall.
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 PED1203 FAQ
It is an AirTAC PED male run tee joining Dia 12mm tubing to a 3/8in PT male thread. Resin and brass profile: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C, for soft nylon or polyurethane tube. Body PBT with brass stud, grey standard, thread supplied with sealant.
Both are three-legged one-touch fittings, but the geometry differs. On PED the male thread is in-line with the straight-through bore, so the main tube path continues past the thread; on PEB the thread sits on the 90-degree branch while the two tube legs form the straight run. Pick PED1203 when the 3/8in port must interrupt nothing - only when the circuit can afford a 90-degree turn in the supply path does PEB make sense.
