The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED4M5-S 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 PED4M5-S is an AirTAC male run tee from the resin one-touch family, sized for Dia 4 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube and closing on an M5x0.8 male stud. In a run tee the threaded stud sits in line with the tube path, so the flow continues straight through the fitting while a branch port takes the tube off at 90 degrees - a different layout from the PEB branch tee, where the thread sits on the branch itself.
Connection is one-touch: push the tube firmly into the port until it bottoms, and the internal chuck grips the OD; press the POM release ring to free it. This is the resin/brass spec profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. Note the -S applies to the stud only: the load-bearing body stays PBT and the SUS304 stud threads into the port, a mix that resists corrosion exactly where the fitting mates with the valve.

POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring; body brass or PBT depending on the part. Stainless (-S): SUS304 in place of brass - a solid SUS304 body on the PC and POC straight connectors, and a PBT body with a SUS304 stud on the elbow, tee and branch shapes. Working pressure, proof pressure and temperature are unchanged from the standard version. AirTAC publishes flow as a characteristic curve rather than a single figure, so no L/min value is listed.

The M5 stud screws straight into the auxiliary ports of compact valve manifolds on packaging machines, while the run-through path keeps a Dia 4 sensor line moving on downstream.
Dia 4 PU tubing and M5 ports are the standard idiom inside benchtop gas analysers; the 90-degree run layout tucks the tube path flat against the chassis wall.
On small gripper slides where every millimetre of height counts, a run tee on Dia 4 tube lets the vacuum signal line continue in-line instead of turning.
M5 is the smallest thread in the PED ladder and Dia 4 is the smallest tube, so there is nothing to step down to - this is the floor of the range. Stepping up on the same M5 stud gives the PED6M5 for Dia 6 tube; stepping the thread instead, PED401 keeps Dia 4 tube on a 1/8 stud. Whichever you choose, the tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 4 port will not seal on 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) imperial tube even though the difference is only a third of a millimetre.
Match the stud to the port, not the other way round. M5 ports are common on compact solenoid valve manifolds and imported sub plates, and unlike the larger PT threads AirTAC supplies these M5 studs finished for a sealing gasket rather than pre-coated thread sealant, so check whether your port expects a bonded seal.
Quick checklist
It joins Dia 4 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to an M5x0.8 male stud, arranged as a run tee with a 90-degree branch. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, vacuum rating is -750 mmHg (10 Torr) and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix means the stud is SUS304; the body remains PBT with a POM release ring, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring. Ratings are identical to the non-stainless PED4M5.
No. On the PED family the SUS304 is limited to the male stud that screws into your port; the one-touch body is PBT, exactly as on the standard version. Only the PC and POC straight connectors get a full SUS304 body in the stainless range. If you need the stud to survive wash-down splash or a corrosive atmosphere at the valve interface, this variant does that job without changing any pressure, vacuum or temperature figure.
