The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED6M5D 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 PED6M5D is a male run tee from AirTAC's resin one-touch fitting range: a straight-through fitting with an M5x0.8 male thread at one end and two Dia 6mm push-in ports that share the same axis as the thread, with the branch taken at 90 degrees. Push each tube into the port and the internal chuck grips it for a sealed connection; press the POM release ring and the tube slides free. The D suffix makes this the black-body version, which on the PED series means the body itself is black, not just the release button, so it doubles as a colour code on crowded machines.
It belongs to the resin/brass spec profile: 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C, running soft nylon or polyurethane tube. The M5 thread is sealed by a captive gasket rather than the sealant coating used on larger threaded sizes, so do not add tape or paste to it. Internals are a POM button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring on a PBT body with a brass stud.

Screw the M5 stud into a compact gripper's air port and split the Dia 6 supply to both finger channels with one fitting, saving a separate elbow on tightly packed robot hands.
On packaging machines where vacuum and pressure lines run side by side, fit black PED tees on the vacuum side and grey on the pressure side so technicians trace circuits at a glance.
Tee a Dia 6 pilot line off an M5 gauge or signal port on a small valve manifold, sending the branch at 90 degrees while the main run continues in line to the next drop.
On the M5 thread, AirTAC makes the PED in exactly two bores: Dia 4 (PED4M5) and this Dia 6. Dropping to Dia 4 halves the flow path for pilot and signal lines; there is no Dia 8 option at M5, so if you need a larger bore you change thread as well - PED6-01 keeps the Dia 6 tube on a 1/8" port, and PED8-01 steps the bore up to Dia 8. Match the M5 stud to ports actually drilled M5x0.8, common on compact valve bodies and gripper manifolds; forcing a gasket-sealed M5 into a 1/8" port will not seal.
Choose a run tee rather than a branch tee (PEB) when the feed should pass straight through and only the take-off turns, for example teeing a second drop off an existing line. Remember tube OD must match the port exactly: a Dia 6 one-touch port will not grip 1/4" (6.35mm) tube, even though the numbers look close.
Quick checklist
This is a black (D suffix) AirTAC PED male run tee joining Dia 6mm tube to an M5x0.8 male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum rating is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It runs soft nylon or polyurethane tube, and the M5 thread seals with a gasket.
No. In the AirTAC one-touch interface table, the PED on an M5 thread is offered only in Dia 4 and Dia 6. For a Dia 8 bore you move to a larger thread on the same series, such as PED8-01 with a 1/8" male stud, which also widens the flow path through the tee.
