The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED4M5D 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 PED4M5D is an AirTAC PED male run tee in the one-touch fitting family, joining Dia 4 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to an M5x0.8 male thread. Run tee geometry means the through line continues straight past the fitting while the M5 branch leaves at 90 degrees, so a single feed can serve a downstream device and a branch at the same time. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it; press the release ring and it slides free again.
This is the resin and brass profile, rated 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -20 to +70 C. The D suffix gives the PED body in black, not just the release button as on PC series, and performance is otherwise identical to the grey part. The M5x0.8 stud seals with a supplied gasket rather than pre-applied thread sealant, which suits the small tapped ports found on valves and manifolds.

A vacuum ejector or small gripper cylinder with an M5x0.8 port can tap a Dia 4 supply line off the main run without breaking the feed to the next station, all within the tight envelope of a robot wrist.
Dia 4 nylon lines carry low-flow carrier or purge gas between analyser modules; the M5 branch tees a sample tap off the main run while the resin body keeps the fitting light on crowded mounting plates.
Dia 4 tubing is the usual choice for pilot air on small divert cylinders; an M5 run tee at the gate valve lets the solenoid branch off the existing signal line without cutting the run to the next sensor.
Dia 4 is the smallest tube the PED offers on an M5 thread - the M5 ladder on this prefix runs only Dia 4 and Dia 6. If your line needs a little more bore, step up to PED6M5; if your port is 1/8 inch instead, the equivalent part is PED401, which also unlocks tube sizes up to Dia 10. Because the M5 gasket seal sits on a shallow tapped face, check the port depth before ordering: a run tee body is longer than a straight PC connector in the same size.
Tube OD must match exactly. A Dia 4 chuck will not seal on 4.5 mm or 1/4 inch tube, and forcing it is the usual cause of slow leaks on small-bore circuits. For a dead-end branch with no through flow, a PEB branch tee is the tidier shape; keep PED for lines where the main feed continues onward.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. It accepts Dia 4 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube and has an M5x0.8 male thread sealed by a gasket. The black D body is PBT with a brass stud, a POM release button and chuck, an aluminium-alloy guide, a stainless spring gasket and an NBR O-ring.
In a PED run tee the main tube path continues straight through the fitting and the threaded M5 port leaves at 90 degrees, so the through flow is barely disturbed. A PEB branch tee is arranged with the branch coming off the side of a single tube entry, which suits dead-end feeds. Choose PED4M5D when the Dia 4 main line must carry on past the tapping point, for example feeding a second valve downstream of the M5 branch.
