The AirTAC Airtac PKD Reducing Thread 5-Way Fitting PKD10-803D-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 PKD10-803D-S is a male reducer triple branch in the resin one-touch family, and it is the largest of the three PKD sizes AirTAC builds. The male stud carries a 3/8in PT thread, two main ports accept Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube, and the centre branch drops to Dia 8 mm. Push the tube in and the stainless spring gasket plus chuck grip it for a sealed joint; press the POM release ring and the tube frees again. The trailing -S fits a SUS304 stainless stud into the assembly, while the body stays PBT and the D suffix gives it a black finish rather than the standard grey.
This part runs on the resin one-touch profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The threaded stud arrives with sealant already applied, so no additional tape or paste is needed at the port. Do not use it as a high-temperature fitting; that role belongs to the separate metal BP family, which is rated lower on pressure but up to 150 C.

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 Dia 10 trunk feeding cooling-air nozzles on an extruder line branches down to Dia 8 lines running to individual air knives, all from one 3/8in threaded outlet on the manifold.
In an automotive body shop, the Dia 10 supply header drops through the PKD branch to Dia 8 tube feeding weld-gun clamp cylinders, with the SUS304 stud standing up to corrosive welding fume better than bare brass.
A rotary indexing table on a food-packaging machine takes Dia 10 air in through its centre and branches to Dia 8 lines serving vacuum ejectors and reject-blow nozzles around the dial.
AirTAC makes exactly three PKD parts - PKD6-401, PKD8-602 and this PKD10-803 - so the sizing ladder is short. Step down to PKD8-602 for a Dia 8 main run with a Dia 6 branch on a 1/4in thread; there is nothing larger, so if your trunk line exceeds Dia 10 you need a different family. Check your port with a thread gauge before ordering: 3/8in PT is the only stud option here, and the branch port takes Dia 8 tube only, never Dia 10.
Tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 10 port will not seal on 3/8in (10 mm nominal but differently toleranced) or 12 mm tube. If you need a plain equal tee instead of a reducer branch, the PED male run tee covers a far wider size range. Remember the release ring needs a fingertip of clearance, so leave access space around the two Dia 10 ports.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting joins two Dia 10 mm main tube ports and one Dia 8 mm branch port to a 3/8in PT male stud. The -S variant adds a SUS304 stainless stud to a PBT body in black; every pressure, vacuum and temperature figure is identical to the grey standard version.
No. On the PKD family the -S option changes only the stud to SUS304 stainless steel; the body remains PBT, the release button and chuck stay POM, the guide stays aluminium alloy and the O-ring stays NBR. AirTAC publishes no corrosion class, passivation or certification for this variant, and the ratings and dimensions are unchanged, so you can swap it for a standard PKD10-803 without redesigning the port.
