SPEG Series Stainless Steel Reducing Union Tee Fittings

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our SPEG Series:

In-Line Branch Reduction:

The reducing tee design allows you to easily create a smaller-diameter branch from a larger main line, such as tapping an 8mm line off a 12mm main run, without needing multiple fittings.

Convenient Mounting Hole:

A pass-through hole in the center of the fitting allows it to be securely fastened to a machine frame or panel, providing extra stability for your pneumatic plumbing.

Premium Stainless Steel Construction:

Available in both 304 and 316 stainless steel, these fittings offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and high temperatures.

Comprehensive Size Combinations:

We stock a full range of common reduction sizes to fit any system, covering both metric and inch tube combinations.

Food-Grade & Oil-Free Design:

Manufactured to be oil-free and compliant with the Food Hygiene Law, our food grade tee fittings are safe for use in sanitary applications.

Application Fields

Branching Off Your Main Air Line with Precision:

Supplying Sub-Circuits: Tapping off a main air header to supply individual machines or smaller pneumatic circuits.

Pilot Air Lines: Providing a smaller branch line to supply pilot air to actuated process valves.

Sensor & Gauge Installation: Creating a reduced-size line for connecting pressure sensors or gauges.

Food & Beverage Machinery: A hygienic stainless steel reducing tee for complex routing on processing and packaging equipment.

Technical & Selection Guide

How to Select a Reducing Tee

Choosing the right reducing tee is simple:

Identify the Outside Diameter (OD) of your main, straight-through tube (e.g., 10mm).

Identify the Outside Diameter (OD) of your smaller, branch tube (e.g., 6mm).

Select the corresponding part number (e.g., S-PEG10-06-10).

This fitting is ideal for creating a 90-degree branch. For other configurations, a combination of straight reducers and equal tees may be used.
