The AirTAC Airtac PED T-Shaped Side Thread Tee Fitting PED6M5D-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 PED6M5D-S is an AirTAC PED male run tee in the SUS304 stainless-variant range, joining one M5x0.8 threaded port to two Dia 6 mm tube lines. On a run tee the threaded stud sits in line with one tube port and the second tube port branches off at 90 degrees, so a single M5 supply can feed two legs of Dia 6 tubing without an extra union. The D suffix marks the black colourway, which is useful when fittings should disappear against dark machine housings or panel hardware.
Push the soft nylon or polyurethane tube home and the internal chuck grips it; press the release ring to free it. This is the resin one-touch profile, rated 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working, 1.5 MPa proof, -20 to +70 C, with -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum capability. The -S suffix changes only the stud material to stainless steel 304; the body stays PBT and every pressure and temperature figure above is identical to the standard PED6M5. Small threaded parts on this series arrive with the stud sealed, and M5 ports seal with a gasket rather than thread sealant.

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.

Surface-mount placement heads commonly carry M5 ports on ejectors and manifolds. This run tee splits that M5 supply into two Dia 6 vacuum or purge lines, and the stainless stud stands up to the flux-residue cleaning fluids used around reflow equipment.
Lab analysers and sample-handling skids route soft nylon tubing between small valves with M5 ports. A run tee keeps the split in one compact black body, and the SUS304 stud resists the humid, occasionally aggressive atmospheres inside such enclosures.
On a small cartoning or bagging machine, one M5 take-off from a manifold can feed both a sealing-bar cylinder and a gripper leg. Fitting the tee in the guard keeps the split at the point of use and the PBT body stays dimensionally stable across the -20 to +70 C duty range.
Step down to PED4M5 for Dia 4 tube when the branch feeds a pilot line or a small signal actuator; the bore drops and so does the air the leg can carry. There is no step up from this code: on an M5 stud the PED ladder tops out at Dia 6, so if the run needs Dia 8 tube or larger you have to move the thread up as well, for example to a 1/8 in part such as PED601, which covers Dia 4 through Dia 10. Whichever size you pick, the tubing OD must match the fitting exactly - a Dia 6 chuck will not seal on 1/4 in (6.35 mm) or 8 mm tube.
Choose the -S version when the stud is exposed to wash-down mist, condensation or mildly corrosive atmospheres and you want a corrosion-resistant thread interface without moving to a fully metal fitting. It suits instrument and electronics builds where the thread must stay clean and consistent rather than rely on sealant that can shed particles.
Quick checklist
It is a male run tee one-touch fitting joining Dia 6 mm tube to an M5x0.8 threaded stud. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr) and temperature range -20 to +70 C. It takes soft nylon or polyurethane tubing, and the -S version has a stainless steel 304 stud on a PBT body with a black finish.
No. The pressure, vacuum, proof-pressure and temperature figures are exactly those of the standard PED6M5 - AirTAC does not re-rate the stainless line. The change is material only: the stud becomes SUS304 while the body remains PBT. Note that on an M5 port the seal comes from a gasket on the seating face, so you should not wrap the stud with PTFE tape or paste as you would on a larger tapered thread.
