The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED603-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 PED603-S is AirTAC's male run tee in the one-touch range, and the -S suffix adds a SUS304 stainless steel stud to the standard part. It screws into a 3/8 in PT port and gives you two things from one fitting: a straight-through Dia 6 mm tube run plus a 90 degree branch off the same bore. Push the soft nylon or PU tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the POM release ring and it frees again, so branches can be reworked without cutting tube.
Ratings are the resin line's, unchanged by the stainless option: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg vacuum, -20 to +70 C. On run tees the stainless sits in the stud only - the body stays PBT - so the -S buys you a corrosion-resistant machine interface while keeping the cost of the fitting sensible. Threaded parts arrive with sealant already applied; there is no need for extra tape on a 3/8 in PT stud.

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.

Tapping a Dia 6 branch off the main 3/8 in air drop feeding rinse-actuated sensors, where washdown mist attacks a plain brass stud but the PBT body keeps the cost down.
An in-line tee on the lift cylinders of electroplating jigs, where acid fume in the air supply corrodes exposed brass threads and the SUS304 stud survives the duty.
Splitting one 3/8 in PT drop into a continuing Dia 6 run plus a branch to a clamp cylinder, so the main line is not broken to add the off-take.
Step down on thread to PED602 (Dia 6 by 1/4 in) if your port is a quarter-inch; step up in tube to PED803 (Dia 8 by 3/8 in) on the same thread for heavier branch feeds. Note the ladder's ceiling: the PED range stops offering Dia 6 above 3/8 in, so a 1/2 in port on a 6 mm run means changing tube size, not just thread. A run tee is the right shape when the branch must leave in-line - a PEB branch tee turns the flow 90 degrees from the body instead. Tube OD must match exactly: this chuck is ground for Dia 6 and will not seal on 1/4 in tube.
Quick checklist
One-touch male run tee: Dia 6 mm tube connection on a 3/8 in PT male thread. Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, usable vacuum -750 mmHg (10 Torr), temperature -20 to +70 C. Tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane; the thread arrives pre-coated with sealant. The -S makes the stud SUS304 while the body stays PBT - the pressure and temperature figures are identical to the standard PED603.
Only the stud. The -S option on this family replaces the brass stud with SUS304; the tee body remains PBT with the standard POM release ring and NBR O-ring. That is why the ratings do not move from the resin line's 0-1.0 MPa and -20 to +70 C. AirTAC publishes no surface-finish, passivation or certification figures for the stainless variant, so it should be chosen for corrosion resistance at the machine interface, not as a fully stainless fitting.
