About the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED401D
The PED401D is an AirTAC PED male run tee in the black colour option, joining Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8 inch PT male thread. Its defining geometry is the run-through path: flow continues in a straight line past the threaded branch, while a 90 degree outlet drops off the side. That makes it the fitting of choice where a branch feed has to come off a line without introducing two extra elbows and the pressure penalty that comes with them.
As a resin one-touch part it is rated 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, usable from -20 to +70 C. Push the 6 mm tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the POM release ring to free it. Because this is a PED rather than a PC or POC, the D suffix changes the body as well as the release button to black. The 1/8 inch thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals on tightening 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 PED401D Is Used
Vacuum pickup on a PCB handling cell
The -750 mmHg rating lets a Dia 6 vacuum line run through the tee to an ejector at a pick point, while the through-path keeps the same supply feeding a second station downstream.
Reject pusher takeoff on a bottling line
Thread the 1/8 inch stud into the pusher cylinder port and let the Dia 6 main run continue along the conveyor frame, splitting supply to the reject actuator with one fitting instead of an elbow plus a tee.
Black-out pipework on a pick-and-place robot
Where a machine builder specifies black fittings on the robot dress pack, the D suffix gives a black body and release ring on the same 0-1.0 MPa resin platform, with the 1/8 inch stud landing straight on the valve manifold.
Is the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED401D the Right Part?
Dia 6 sits in the middle of the PED run on a 1/8 inch port. Stepping down to Dia 4 trims the bore for light pilot and signalling duties; stepping up to Dia 8 increases the available cross-section for cylinders with meaningful draw. On the thread side, this exact tube size is also offered with M5 and 1/4 inch, so you can match either a small sensor port or a larger manifold tapping without changing tube. Every combination must come from the PED row of the interface table; 1/8 inch with Dia 6 is confirmed in it.
Match the shape before you match the size: if the branch can carry the whole flow and nothing passes through, a PEB male branch tee is the simpler part, and a PE union tee handles all-tube junctions with no thread at all. One rule is absolute - the tube OD must equal the fitting size exactly, so a Dia 6 gripping chuck will not seal on 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) tube.
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 PED401D FAQ
It is an AirTAC PED male run tee for Dia 6 mm tube with a 1/8 inch PT male thread, in black (D suffix). Working pressure is 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), vacuum capability is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It takes soft nylon or polyurethane tubing and the thread is supplied with sealant pre-applied.
On the PED family the D changes the body as well as the release button to black; the pressure, vacuum and temperature ratings and the dimensions are identical to the grey PED401. A separate point worth knowing: only the threaded ports carry sealant, so any tube-side joint depends on the chuck and O-ring alone and never needs tape on the tube itself.
