The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED1204 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 PED1204 is an AirTAC PED male run tee: a one-touch fitting that continues a Dia 12 mm tube line straight through while branching a 1/2" PT male thread off at 90 degrees. Because the run port is in line with the tube, the main flow passes through unobstructed and only the branch draw is throttled by the fitting geometry - the natural shape when a supply run should keep going and a takeoff is added along the way.
To connect, push the 12 mm soft nylon or PU tube squarely into the Dia 12 port until it bottoms; the stainless spring gasket and POM chuck grip the tube wall, and the release ring frees it again when you need to rework the run. This resin/brass profile is rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The 1/2" thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it screws straight into a PT port.

On a stamping press cell, run the 12 mm main feed straight through the PED1204 and branch the 1/2" thread down to the part-blowoff nozzle, so the drop is added without breaking the main run.
Along a bottle conveyor, keep the 12 mm distribution line continuous and tee off through the 1/2" PT port to feed the pneumatic stopper cylinder that batches containers at the filler infeed.
Where a 1/2" PT supply port on a valve manifold also has to serve the next station, screw in the PED1204 and carry a 12 mm tube onward, giving one port two duties.
On the 1/2" thread rung of the PED ladder, the sizes are 8, 10 and 12 mm, so PED1204 is the top of that column. Stepping down to PED1004 (Dia 10) or PED804 (Dia 8) reduces the run and everything fed from it; there is no larger tube on this thread, so a bigger main would need a manifold port or a different series. For the same Dia 12 body on a smaller port, PED1203 covers 3/8" PT, which also accepts 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm tubes. If you need a branch that ends in the thread rather than passing flow through, that is the PEB male branch tee instead.
Tube OD must match the port exactly: a Dia 12 one-touch port will not seal reliably on 1/2 inch or any other off-size tube. If the run has to pass through a panel wall before branching, the PMF bulkhead connector in Dia 12 uses an M22x1 locknut for that job.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. It joins a Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/2" PT male thread, with the thread supplied pre-coated with sealant. The release button and chuck are POM, the guide is aluminium alloy, the spring gasket is stainless and the O-ring is NBR.
No. The PED1204 has a straight-through run: the Dia 12 tube line continues past the fitting and the 1/2" thread is a 90 degree branch off that run. A PEB branch tee ends the tube line at the thread. Choose the PED when the supply run must keep flowing to a downstream point and you only want to draw a branch from it - for example feeding the next machine station while supplying a local cylinder.
