The AirTAC Airtac PYB Y-Type Threaded Tee Fitting PYB6M5D 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 PYB6M5D is an AirTAC PYB branch Y, the resin one-touch fitting that divides a single airline into two outlet legs set at a fixed Y angle. This version carries Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on all three legs and screws into an M5x0.8 tapped port. The D suffix makes the PBT body black instead of the standard grey, which helps colour-code circuits or match dark machine enclosures.
Installation is push-in: seat the tube fully and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it against the aluminium-alloy guide; press the POM release ring to free it. Because the thread is M5, sealing comes from a gasket rather than the sealant pre-applied to larger PT threads, so this stud goes in clean and dry. It runs on the resin spec profile: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -20 to +70 C.

Screws straight into the M5 outlet of a compact pneumatic valve manifold, then splits the Dia 6 line to a small cylinder and its reed-switch-side pilot circuit without adding a second valve.
On bench-top liquid-handling and dispensing stations, one M5 supply from the controller splits to twin Dia 6 legs driving two ejector heads in sync, and the gasket seal keeps sealant particles out of clean tubing runs.
On small parallel grippers with M5 ports on both jaws, a single feed enters the Y stem and two short Dia 6 polyurethane legs reach each actuator port inside a tight end-of-arm tooling envelope.
On the M5 ladder for PYB, Dia 6 is the top of the range: only Dia 4 and Dia 6 exist below it, so the smaller neighbour is the PYB4M5, which suits micro actuators and thinner polyurethane runs. There is no larger M5 option at all. To feed bigger bores you change thread family, stepping to the PYB801 (Dia 8 tube on a 1/8in thread), which trades the compact gasket-sealed M5 stud for a sealant-sealed PT taper.
Choose a Y when one supply has to feed two legs, such as a pair of single-acting cylinders or a gripper and its pilot line. Match the tube exactly: a Dia 6 chuck will not hold 1/4in (6.35 mm) tube even though the two look close, and a mismatched OD leaks or blows off under pressure.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a service temperature of -20 to +70 C. It accepts Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on all three legs and has an M5x0.8 male stud sealed by a gasket. The black body is PBT with a brass stud, POM release ring and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide and stainless spring gasket.
No. Unlike the larger PT-threaded PYB sizes, which arrive with sealant pre-applied, M5x0.8 studs on this series seal with a gasket. Wrapping tape on an M5 thread can shed fragments into the airline and may stop the stud seating square against its port face, so fit it clean and torque only enough to compress the gasket.
