The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED603 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 PED603 is an AirTAC PED male run tee, a one-touch fitting whose straight-through run accepts 6 mm OD soft nylon or polyurethane tube on both legs, with a 3/8" male PT thread branching off the centre at 90 degrees. Push the tube into the chuck and the stainless spring gasket grips it for a sealed joint; press the POM release ring and the tube frees for rework. Unlike a branch tee, the run of a run tee passes in one straight line, so the main flow path is not turned through the body.
This is the resin and brass one-touch profile, not the metal line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. The centre thread is a brass stud, the female-side body is PBT, and AirTAC ships the thread with sealant already applied, so additional tape is normally unnecessary. The M-sized threads in this catalogue do not use sealant - they seal with a gasket.

The 3/8" male branch threads straight into a valve manifold outlet while the 6 mm run continues on to a downstream clamp cylinder, keeping the main supply line unbroken.
A 6 mm polyurethane drop from the machine's supply rail runs through the PED603 to feed a small scraper or reject-push cylinder, with the tee's straight run carrying air to the next station.
Rated to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), the run tee suits a vacuum ejector branch on a benchtop dispense or pick-and-place cell, where the 3/8" port mounts the ejector and the 6 mm run loops to further cups.
At the 3/8" thread position, Dia 6 is the smallest tube the PED ladder offers - Dia 4 is simply not made at this thread, so if your circuit runs 4 mm tube you must step the thread down to 1/8" or 1/4" instead. Stepping up in bore gives you the PED803 (8 mm tube, 3/8" thread), and the thread itself has two neighbours on the PED603 run: PED602 (1/4") and PED604 (1/2"). The run tee shape is the right answer when a line should continue straight past a take-off point; if the line itself must turn 90 degrees into the wall, an PL male elbow does that job instead. Whichever you pick, the tube OD must match the fitting exactly - a Dia 6 chuck will not hold 1/4" (6.35 mm) imperial tube.
Quick checklist
It is an AirTAC PED male run tee joining Dia 6 mm tube on the run to a 3/8" male PT thread on the branch. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it draws vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. Use soft nylon or polyurethane tube of exactly 6 mm OD. The release button and chuck are POM, the guide is aluminium alloy, the spring gasket is stainless, the O-ring is NBR, and the stud is brass.
No for most cases - AirTAC applies sealant to the male thread at the factory, so the fitting can be screwed straight into the port. Inspect the coating and re-tape only if it has been damaged. Note that this applies to the threaded sizes only; the M5 versions of the PED series seal with a gasket instead and must never receive sealant.
