About the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED401
The AirTAC PED401 is a male run tee from AirTAC's resin one-touch range. It joins Dia 4 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on the tube side and a 1/8 inch PT male thread on the port side. Unlike a branch tee, the run tee carries the main line straight through the body and drops a 90 degree branch off the run, so the through-flow path stays aligned.
One-touch action is simple: push the tube past the POM chuck and it grips; press the release ring and it frees. This resin profile is rated 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The PBT threaded body arrives with sealant already applied to the 1/8 PT thread, so it seals straight into the port without extra tape.

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 PED401 Is Used
Analyser sample-air take-off
On a lab gas analyser or emissions bench, the run tee taps a pressure branch off a Dia 4 sample line while leaving the through-run undisturbed, all sealed on a compact 1/8 PT port.
Pneumatic control cabinet drop
Inside a PLC control cabinet, the 1/8 PT male thread lands directly on a manifold or valve island port and the Dia 4 branch feeds a small indicator or pressure switch line.
Pick-and-place vacuum sensing
On a small vacuum gripper head running at -750 mmHg, the run tee splices a sensor line off the Dia 4 vacuum tubing without breaking the main suction run to the cup.
Is the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED401 the Right Part?
Dia 4 is the smallest tube bore the PED line offers, so the only neighbour is up: PED601 steps to Dia 6 tube on the same 1/8 thread and gives you a measurably larger bore for lines where pressure drop across a long run matters. On the thread side you can drop to M5x0.8 (PED40M5) for small valve and sensor ports with a sealing gasket instead of thread sealant, or step up to 1/4 (PED402) for bigger cast ports.
Match the thread to the port, not the other way round, and remember tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 4 fitting will not grip 4 mm nominal tube with an oversized wall, and it will never hold 1/4 inch tube. If you need a panel pass-through instead, the bulkhead PM series is the shape for that job.
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 PED401 FAQ
It is a male run tee for Dia 4 mm tube with a 1/8 inch PT male thread. Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. Tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane, the release button and chuck are POM, the body is PBT with sealant pre-applied to the thread, and the standard colour is grey.
Geometry, not size. The PEB branch tee has the stem at 90 degrees to both legs, so flow into the stem always turns. The PED401 run tee has three ports with two of them in a straight line: the main flow continues through the run with only a single 90 degree turn into the branch. That makes it the better choice where you want to minimise restriction in the through-line, for example tapping an instrument or sensor feed off a main supply run.
