The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED603D-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 AirTAC PED603D-S is a male run tee from the resin one-touch family: Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube is pushed straight through the run of the tee and gripped by an internal chuck, while a 3/8in PT male thread branches off at 90 degrees to feed a port. Unlike a branch tee, the run stays in line with the tube path, so the main air flow sees a smooth straight-through passage and only the branch turns. This -S version carries a SUS304 stud on the threaded leg; the tee body itself remains PBT, finished in black because of the D suffix.
As a resin-line fitting it is rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -20 to +70 C, and it also holds -750 mmHg (10 Torr) on vacuum circuits. To make a joint, cut the tube square, push it into the collet until it seats, and the stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring complete the seal; press the release ring to free it again. The 3/8in thread arrives with sealant applied, so no extra tape or compound is needed on the port.

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.

A 3/8in PT port on a rotary indexer's valve manifold tees off to two Dia 6 cylinder lines while the main run continues to the next station, all in one push-in part.
The SUS304 stud on the threaded leg stands up to humid, chemically laden air around plating rinse tanks, where a plain brass stud would corrode at the port thread.
Machine builders specify the black D-colour body so tube take-offs on a dark-painted packaging frame do not show stray grey fittings through the guards.
Within the PED row on a 3/8in thread, Dia 6 is the smallest tube offered - the next step up is Dia 8 on the PED803-S, which moves the branch into heavier cylinder and valve circuits at the cost of a larger pocket in the manifold face. If you step the thread down instead, PED602 gives the same Dia 6 tube on a 1/4in port; note that the 1/2in PED ladder starts at Dia 8, so Dia 6 on a 1/2in male run tee does not exist and should never be specified.
Choose the run-tee shape when a supply line has to continue past a take-off point: the through-run keeps the downstream line fed in a straight path. If the branch must pass through a panel wall, a PMF bulkhead connector is the right part; if the drop to the actuator needs to swivel, look at the PH universal male elbow instead. Whichever shape you pick, the tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 6 fitting will not grip 1/4in tube.
Quick checklist
It is a male run tee joining Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 3/8in PT male thread with a SUS304 stud on a PBT body. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum capability is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix changes only the stud material; all ratings stay identical to the standard PED603D.
No. AirTAC publishes one rating for the PED family and the -S version carries exactly the same 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C range. The stud swaps to SUS304 for corrosion resistance at the port; the body stays PBT and the dimensions are unchanged, so it drops into the same footprint as the grey standard part.
