GENTLE TB T-Branch Quick Coupler｜L-Shaped Dual Push-In + Threaded

• L-Shaped Dual Push-In with Threaded Tee Branch: Make a branch right at a corner—more compact tubing and tidier layout with fewer adapters.
• Cornering + T-Split in One Fitting: Achieves 90° direction change and three-way branching at once, shortening runs and reducing pressure drop and leak paths.
• One-Touch, Tool-Free Service: Dual push-in ports speed tube insertion/removal and cut downtime.
• Pre-Sealed Threads + Hex-Wrench Locking: Factory-applied sealant ensures airtight, vibration-resistant joints; wrench flats above the thread allow precise tightening. After repeated reassembly or in high-vibration sites, add a thin wrap of PTFE tape as needed.
• Full Range: 4–12 mm tubing with M5 and RC1/8–RC1/2 threads; available in black and grey-white (-GW).
• Applications: Valve-island and cylinder branching, in-cabinet distribution, dual feeds for fixtures/test stations, parallel end-tooling, and quick branch add-ons during line expansion—perform branching at corners to shorten runs and streamline maintenance.

Q1: How does TB differ from TT?
A: Both are tees. TB combines an L-shaped dual push-in trunk with a threaded branch—ideal for corner branching. TT keeps two push-ins inline with a perpendicular threaded branch for a classic T layout.

Q2: What sizes and thread types are available?
A: Push-in ports cover 4–12 mm; threads include M5 and RC1/8–RC1/2. Refer to the model table for exact pairings.

Q3: Do the push-in ports rotate?
A: No. TB is a fixed tee. If angle compliance after tightening is needed, choose a series with a swivel mechanism.

Q4: Do I need PTFE tape?
A: Typically no—the threads are pre-sealed. After multiple cycles or in heavy vibration, apply a thin PTFE wrap as needed and keep sealant out of the flow path.

Q5: Any flow-direction constraint?
A: None. Assign inlet/outlets according to your circuit's flow and sizing.

Q6: Does a T-branch increase pressure drop?
A: Any split adds ΔP. Upsize the trunk or minimize fittings for high trunk flow; match branch demand with tube size and the fitting's effective area (see specs).

Q7: Advantage vs. using a straight fitting plus separate tees?
A: Fewer connections and shorter runs—lower pressure loss, fewer leak points, and faster service.

Q8: Can it be panel-mounted?
A: TB isn't a bulkhead type. For panel pass-through and front-panel mounting, use a bulkhead series (e.g., UK/UKM).

Q9: How do I fix a minor leak?
A: Ensure the tube end is cut square and burr-free, insert fully, and verify thread seating. Add a thin PTFE wrap if needed; inspect sealing faces and threads.

Q10: Any routing tips?
A: Keep the trunk as straight/short as practical, place the tee close to the demand point, observe minimum bend radius, and avoid unnecessary bends or crossings.
