The AirTAC Airtac PYB Y-Type Threaded Tee Fitting PYB603-S is a genuine branch y for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PYB603-S is AirTAC's branch Y one-touch fitting with a male stud: a 3/8in PT thread on one side and two Dia 6 mm tube ports angled off the stem in a Y, so a single supply port can feed two tube runs without an extra tee block. To connect, you push the soft nylon or polyurethane tube straight into the port until it bottoms; the internal chuck grips the tube wall and the stainless spring gasket plus NBR O-ring seal it. Pressing the POM release ring frees the tube again.
The -S suffix means this is the SUS304 variant, and on the PYB family that specifically means the threaded STUD is stainless steel 304 while the body remains PBT - so it suits corrosive or wash-down spots at the port interface without changing the fitting's shape. Ratings are identical to the standard resin line: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -20 to +70 C. The thread arrives with sealant applied; no additional sealing tape is needed on 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.

The SUS304 stud resists acid mist at the solenoid port of a plating or surface-treatment line, while the Y splits one 3/8in outlet into two Dia 6 tube runs serving rinse-air nozzles on either side of the tank.
On a small robotic pick-and-place cell, the Y branch feeds two Dia 6 suction-cup lines from a single valve port, halving the number of outlets needed on the manifold and keeping vacuum at the cups within the -750 mmHg rating.
On a brewery or dairy CIP skid, the stainless stud at the 3/8in port stands up to daily hose-down, and the Y angles two Dia 6 lines into the pneumatic actuator circuits of butterfly valves without extra junction fittings.
On the PYB ladder this Dia 6 x 3/8in combination sits mid-range. One step down in thread, the PYB602 (1/4in) also accepts Dia 6 tube if your valve or manifold port is smaller. Stepping UP is where the Y series gets interesting: the 1/2in PYB size does not accept Dia 6 at all - it starts at Dia 8 - so moving to a 1/2in port means jumping to PYB804 and tubing up as well. Match the thread to the port first, then confirm the tube: a Dia 6 port will not reliably hold 1/4in (6.35 mm) tube, even though the sizes look close.
If the two branches need to point at 90 degrees instead of a Y angle, the PEB branch tee (PEB603-S in this size) is the alternative shape. If you need to pass the connection through a panel or guard plate rather than branch off it, look at the PM bulkhead family instead.
Quick checklist
It is a branch Y one-touch fitting with a 3/8in PT male stud and two Dia 6 mm tube ports, in the SUS304 -S variant. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum capability is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It is intended for soft nylon or polyurethane tubing only, and the thread is PT.
No. On the PYB family the -S means the threaded stud is SUS304 while the body stays PBT, so the external dimensions and every pressure and temperature figure match the standard PYB603. AirTAC publishes no separate rating for the stainless variant, so you can size the circuit exactly as you would the grey version.
