About the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED6M5-S
The PED6M5-S is an AirTAC PED male run tee, the through-flow fitting that branches a line at a male thread instead of joining tube to tube. It takes Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing on both tube ports and presents an M5x0.8 male stud as the run-through outlet, so the main line keeps flowing straight while a third leg drops off at the port. As with every one-touch part, you push the tube in until the internal chuck grips it, and press the release ring to let it go.
This is the resin and brass one-touch profile, not the metal line: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and a -20 to +70 C window. The trailing -S in the code means the M5 stud is SUS304 stainless; the elbow body itself stays PBT with POM chuck and button, aluminium guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR seal. Note that M5 is the one thread in this catalogue that seals with a small gasket rather than pre-applied sealant, so no thread tape or sealant is added at assembly.

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.

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-S Is Used
Solenoid valve station supply branch
On a pick-and-place module built around small M5-ported valves, the PED run tee lets the Dia 6 mm supply line pass straight through to the next valve while one M5 stud feeds the port in between, cutting two tees and a nipple down to one push-in part.
Bench-top dosing and test skid
The SUS304 stud resists corrosion on lab and plating-shop benches where rinse fluids and fumes would attack bare brass, and the M5 gasket seal suits the shallow tapped ports found on small instrumentation and flow-control bodies.
Gripper circuit on a compact EOAT
End-of-arm tooling often routes Dia 6 mm lines between narrow gripper bodies; a run tee at the M5 port on a mini cylinder or vacuum generator drops a branch off mid-run without adding an elbow or a junction block to the tooling plate.
Is the Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED6M5-S the Right Part?
On the PED M5 row only Dia 4 and Dia 6 exist, so Dia 6 is already the largest tube this M5 stud accepts. Stepping down to PED4M5-S halves the bore for a signal line or a small gripper; there is no larger M5 tube to step up to. If the circuit grows beyond Dia 6 on this tee shape, the real move is a thread change: PED6-01-S keeps the same tube but swaps the stud to 1/8 inch PT.
Match the M5 stud to M5-tapped ports, which are typical on small solenoid valve bodies, flow controls and manifold faces, and do not force it into an untapped or differently pitched hole. Also check the receiving port depth: the M5 gasket seal needs a flat seating face to compress against, which a chamfered or countersunk hole will not give it. And remember tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 6 one-touch chuck will not hold 1/4 inch tube, no matter how firmly you push it.
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-S FAQ
It joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on both tube ports to an M5x0.8 male stud. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum is down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The -S variant carries a SUS304 stainless stud; the PBT body, POM chuck, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring are identical to the standard PED6M5.
No. M5 sizes in this one-touch catalogue seal with a small sealing gasket supplied on the fitting, so the stud screws into a plain M5x0.8 tapped port and the gasket compresses on the seating face. Do not wind PTFE tape onto an M5 stud: it can lift the gasket off its seat and cause a leak that looks like a fitting fault but is an assembly one.
