Pneumatic Fittings / Push-to-Connect / Equal Tee
10mm Equal Tee FittingPush-to-Connect Pneumatic Connector
Precision-engineered for professional compressed air systems. Instant tool-free connection across all three ports. Zero-compromise leak performance under sustained pressure. UK-stocked and dispatched same day.
Product Overview
The 10mm Equal Tee Push-to-Connect Fitting is a professional-grade pneumatic connector designed for engineers, mechanics, and industrial buyers who demand reliability without compromise. Its equal-port tee geometry allows a single compressed air supply line to be split into two independent branch circuits — making it the cornerstone component for workshop ring-mains, multi-tool air systems, and production-line pneumatic networks. No thread tape. No sealant. No specialist tools. Just a clean tube cut, a firm push, and a leak-free connection that holds under pressure.
Engineering Highlights
Instant Push-to-Connect
A single firm push seats the 10mm tube with an audible click. The internal collet grips the tube circumferentially — secure, repeatable, and field-proven across thousands of installations. No threading, no tools, no downtime.
Three-Way Air Distribution
Equal-port tee geometry delivers balanced airflow to two independent branch lines from one supply. Ideal for multi-tool workshop layouts, dual-actuator circuits, and ring-main distribution systems where consistent pressure is non-negotiable.
Precision-Machined Body
Manufactured to exacting tolerances from high-grade materials that resist vibration, thermal cycling, and the rigours of continuous industrial use. Dimensionally consistent across every unit — critical for system integrity at scale.
Dual O-Ring Seal System
A dual O-ring sealing arrangement maintains a positive air-tight lock under sustained operating pressure. No thread tape, no sealant compounds, no secondary sealing steps — the fitting does the work from the moment it is seated.
Tool-Free Release
Depress the collet release collar to withdraw the tube cleanly and without damage. Reconfigure, extend, or reroute your air system in seconds — no cutting, no waste, no replacement fittings required.
Compact, Low-Profile Design
Engineered for tight installation envelopes where space is at a premium. The compact tee body integrates cleanly into panel-mounted manifolds, bulkhead assemblies, and confined machine cavities without compromising access.

Professional Applications
Workshop Air Lines
Branch compressed air to multiple bays, tools, and service stations from a single compressor feed. Ideal for garages, fabrication shops, and bodywork facilities.
Compressor Ring-Mains
Build efficient ring-main or radial distribution systems with consistent pressure across all outlets. The equal tee is the fundamental building block of any professional air network.
Pneumatic Machinery
Connect actuators, cylinders, and control valves in production-line pneumatic circuits. Rated for the demands of continuous industrial duty cycles.
Automation & Robotics
Integrate into robotic and automated assembly lines where reliable, repeatable connections are non-negotiable. Push-fit design supports rapid reconfiguration during commissioning.
MRO & Maintenance
Fast, tool-free replacement during planned maintenance windows. Minimise downtime with a fitting that can be swapped in seconds without specialist equipment.
OEM & Panel Building
Specified by OEMs and panel builders for its dimensional consistency and seal reliability. Suitable for volume assembly where quality and repeatability are paramount.
Installation Guide
-
1
Prepare the Tube
Cut pneumatic tubing squarely using a dedicated tube cutter. A clean, perpendicular cut is essential — angled or ragged ends will compromise the O-ring seal and risk leakage under pressure.
-
2
Inspect the Fitting
Check the tee body, collet, and O-rings for debris or damage before installation. A clean fitting is a leak-free fitting. Do not install if any component appears damaged.
-
3
Insert the Tube
Push the tube firmly and squarely into the port until it bottoms out. You will feel positive resistance as the collet engages — this confirms correct seating. Repeat for all required ports.
-
4
Verify the Lock
Apply a firm axial pull to each tube. A correctly seated tube will not withdraw. If any tube moves, re-insert and repeat the insertion step until positive retention is confirmed.
-
5
Pressure Test
Pressurise the system gradually and inspect all connections with soapy water or a calibrated leak-detection spray. No bubbles — no leaks. Do not operate at pressures exceeding the tubing or system rating.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tube types are compatible with this 10mm equal tee fitting?
This fitting is compatible with standard 10mm OD pneumatic tubing including nylon (PA), polyurethane (PU), and semi-rigid PTFE tube. Always verify your tube's outside diameter is exactly 10mm before installation.
Can I reuse this fitting after removing the tube?
Yes. Depress the collet release collar to withdraw the tube cleanly. The fitting can be reused provided the O-rings and collet show no signs of wear or damage. Inspect before re-installation.
Do I need thread tape or sealant with this fitting?
No. The dual O-ring sealing system provides a complete air-tight seal without thread tape, PTFE tape, or sealant compounds. The fitting is self-sealing upon correct tube insertion.
How quickly will my order be dispatched?
