The AirTAC Airtac PKD Reducing Thread 5-Way Fitting PKD10-803-S is a genuine male reducer triple branch for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The AirTAC PKD10-803-S is a male reducer triple branch one-touch fitting: a 3/8in PT male thread on one end and three push-in ports, the main run accepting Dia 10 mm tube while the branch accepts Dia 8 mm tube. Push the tube into the port and the internal chuck grips it for a sealed joint; press the POM release ring and the tube slides straight back out. The thread arrives from AirTAC with sealant already applied, so it goes into a PT port and seals without extra tape.
This -S variant keeps the 1.0 MPa resin-line ratings: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, -20 to +70 C. On the PKD family the stainless applies to the stud, which is SUS304 instead of brass; the shaped body remains PBT with a POM release button, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring. The stud upgrade resists thread corrosion where the fitting screws into a steel manifold block in damp or wash-prone plant areas.

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 threaded outlet on the machine manifold feeds the PKD10-803-S, which runs Dia 10 tube along the main airline while the Dia 8 branch drops air to the ejector cylinder circuit on the moving platen.
From a 3/8in port on the fixture's air block, the Dia 10 main run continues to a second clamp station while the Dia 8 branch feeds the single swing clamp nearest the thread, keeping one supply point per fixture.
Mounted on a 3/8in port beside the conveyor drive, the fitting splits a Dia 10 feed between a Dia 8 line to the reject air nozzle and a Dia 10 run to the next station without a separate tee and reducer.
AirTAC makes exactly three PKD part numbers: PKD6-401, PKD8-602 and PKD10-803. The PKD10-803-S is the largest of the set, so there is no size up. Step down to PKD8-602 when the main run is Dia 8 tube with a Dia 6 branch on a 1/4in PT port; PKD10-803-S trades that for a 3/8in port and one extra millimetre of bore on the branch, which matters when a single 3/8in manifold outlet must feed a distribution block and a Dia 8 drop at once. If the branch tube should be the same diameter as the main run, a PEB or PED male tee in Dia 10 is the correct shape instead.
Match the 3/8in PT thread to a 3/8in port, and check that every tube is a true Dia 10 or Dia 8 OD: a Dia 6 tube will not seal in the Dia 8 branch port. AirTAC publishes PT only for this range - no G or NPT ordering code exists.
Quick checklist
It joins Dia 10 mm main tube and Dia 8 mm branch tube to a 3/8in PT male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa and temperature -20 to +70 C. The stud is SUS304; the body is PBT with a POM release button, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring.
No. AirTAC rates the stainless-stud PKD10-803-S identically to the standard brass-stud version, and the dimensions are the same. Only the stud material changes to SUS304. Note also that PKD exists in only three sizes - 6/4, 8/6 and 10/8 - so if you need a different branch ratio, a PEB or PED tee plus a PG union reducer is the alternative route.
