GENTLE TB Mini T-Branch Quick Coupler｜Compact Side-Port Splitter

• Ultra-Compact Size: ~40% smaller / ~20% slimmer for panel interiors, behind-panel spaces, jigs/fixtures, and tight rail-side slots.
• T-Branch Side Port: Straight mainline with a lateral outlet for near-point distribution, shortening runs and lowering pressure drop.
• Push-to-Connect Service: Push fully to the stop to lock; press the collet to release—fast maintenance with minimal effort.
• Hex for Confident Wrenching: A hex above the thread helps precise orientation and tightening in space-limited areas.
• Sealed & Durable Build: O-ring + metal collet for vibration resistance; RC (BSPT) threads are pre-sealed to simplify assembly.
• Applications: Side branching inside machines, near-cylinder feeds, behind-panel splits, rail-side modules, and compact bypass lines.

Q1: How does TB differ from TT?
A: TB features two push-in ports forming an L plus a threaded branch to make a T; TT uses inline push-in ports plus a threaded leg to form a T.

Q2: Are TB and TT interchangeable?
A: Not directly. Outlet orientation differs and affects layout/pressure loss. Select based on available space and flow direction.

Q3: Where is TB commonly used?
A: Side branching in automation equipment, near-cylinder feeds, compact behind-panel splits, and space-limited modules.

Q4: Do RC threaded models require PTFE tape?
A: No. RC threads are pre-coated with sealant for direct assembly. Re-seal only if the coating wears after multiple cycles.

Q5: What are the recommended installation steps?
A: Tighten the threaded end first (use the wrenching hex) → square-cut the tube with a PU tube cutter → push fully to the stop → perform a light pull test → leak-test.

Q6: Can the fitting be reused?
A: Yes, if the O-ring and metal collet are undamaged. Re-cut scratched/ovalized tube ends before reinsertion.
