GENTLE UTD Reducer T Union｜Different-Diameter Push-to-Connect Tee

• Reducing 3-Way Split: Equal-diameter straight trunk with a reduced side branch for quick size transitions.
• Fewer Joints, Fewer Leak Paths: Combines a tee and reducer in one body—shorter runs and typically lower pressure drop.
• All Push-to-Connect: Three push-in ports for tool-free installation and fast changeovers.
• Metric Compatibility: Offered in 6→4, 8→6, 10→8, and 12→10 mm; for PU and nylon (PA) tubing.
• Sealing & Retention: O-ring sealing with a metal collet maintains airtightness under vibration and pull loads.
• Applications: Integrating legacy/new equipment, mixed jig sizes, or upgraded trunks with smaller branches—use one UTD to split and step down cleanly.

Q1: How does UTD differ from UT?
A: UT is an equal-diameter tee. UTD is a reducing tee: the straight trunk stays equal while the side branch steps down (6→4, 8→6, 10→8, 12→10 mm).

Q2: Which tubing and sizes are supported?
A: Metric PU and nylon (PA) tubing in the four step-down pairs listed above.

Q3: How do I select the model?
A: Match the trunk OD and branch OD—for example, trunk 8 mm with branch 6 mm → UTD8-6. All three ports are push-to-connect (no threads).

Q4: Any installation tips?
A: Cut the tube end square and deburr; insert fully to the stop and perform a light pull test. To remove, press the release ring evenly before pulling to protect the O-ring and collet.

Q5: Is it reusable?
A: Reusable if the collet is undamaged; re-cut marred tube ends. If leakage or grip loss occurs, replace the entire fitting.

Q6: What operating range is supported?
A: Reference 0–0.9 MPa and 5–60 °C. Avoid aggressive chemicals, prolonged oil immersion, or high-temperature service; verify compatibility for vacuum or special media.

Q7: Will pressure drop increase?
A: Compared with a separate tee plus reducer, the straight trunk and short reducing branch typically yield fewer fittings and lower ΔP.

Q8: Can it interface with inch-size tubing or other sizes?
A: The series is metric. For cross-size transitions outside the listed pairs, use a standard reducer union/adapter at the tube end before connecting to UTD.
