About the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED6M5
The PED6M5 is an AirTAC PED male run tee, a three-way fitting that lets a Dia 6 mm tube run straight through the body while an M5x0.8 male thread branches off at a right angle. Push the tube into the chuck and it grips; press the release ring and it frees again, so branches can be reworked without cutting tubing. On this resin and brass profile the body and button are POM and the stud is brass, and the M5 thread arrives with a sealing gasket rather than pre-applied sealant because M5x0.8 is too fine for tape or compound.
This is the standard resin spec, not the metal line: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. Use soft nylon or polyurethane tube of exactly 6 mm OD. Note that M5 is the smallest and shortest thread on the PED ladder, so the run tee sits close to the port face - useful where a solenoid valve or sensor block has stacked M5 ports with little clearance.

Fitting & Sealing Notes
- check Cut the tube square and clean before pushing it home, or the seal will leak.
- check Push until it stops, then pull back to check the chuck has gripped.
- check To release, press the collet ring fully in and pull the tube out.
- check Threaded parts arrive with sealant on the thread; M5 sizes use a sealing gasket.
- check Match the tube OD exactly - a 6 mm fitting will not hold 1/4" tube.
Where the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED6M5 Is Used
Solenoid valve manifold branch
Many compact 5/2 and 3/2 solenoid valves carry M5x0.8 ports. The PED6M5 tees a 6 mm supply or exhaust line off that port without adding a separate adapter, keeping pilot piping on a manifold block short and tidy.
Pick-and-place gripper circuit
On a small pneumatic gripper or pick-and-place head, the through-path continues the 6 mm line to the next station while the M5 branch feeds the gripper itself - one fitting doing both the run and the drop.
Lab dispense and sampling heads
Benchtop dispensing and fluid-sampling heads often drive small air cylinders from M5 ports. The POM body and fine M5 gasket seal suit light-duty, low-flow circuits where a bulkier 1/8 inch tee simply will not fit the port pitch.
Is the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED6M5 the Right Part?
Step down and PED4M5 gives you the same run tee for Dia 4 mm tube. Step up and there is nothing larger on M5: Dia 6 mm is the biggest tube this thread supports, so if you need an 8 mm or 10 mm run you move to PED601 (1/8 inch) or PED602 (1/4 inch) and match the port accordingly. Whichever you pick, the tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 6 mm fitting will not seal on 1/4 inch or 1/4 inch-converted metric tube. If you need the branch angled rather than at 90 degrees in line, the PYB branch Y is the sibling shape to consider.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Tube outside diameter matches exactly
- ✓ Thread size and standard match the port
- ✓ Working pressure within 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2)
- ✓ Temperature within -20 to +70 °C
Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED6M5 FAQ
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa and operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It accepts Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube and has an M5x0.8 male thread, the smallest and shortest thread offered on the PED run tee range.
M5x0.8 is a fine pitch that is too small for PTFE tape or pipe compound, so the fitting is supplied with a sealing gasket for the thread. Screw it in hand-tight and then snug it gently; over-tightening a gasket-sealed M5 stud can distort the seal or damage the port. AirTAC publishes no torque figure for this size, so rely on a firm hand-fit rather than a wrench.
