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

• Compact Profile, Full Range of Sizes (4/6 mm): ~40% smaller / ~20% slimmer for dense layouts in control panels, behind panels, rail-side slots, jigs, and test fixtures.
• T-Branch Side Port: Straight mainline with a lateral outlet for near-point distribution—shorter runs, lower ΔP, fewer kinks.
• Push-to-Connect, Quick Service: Insert fully to the stop to lock; press the release ring to disconnect—fast, tool-free maintenance.
• Hex Wrenching for Tight Spaces: Wrench flats above the thread allow precise seating and orientation in confined areas.
• Pre-Sealed RC (BSPT) Threads: Factory-applied sealant enables tape-free installation in most cases.
• Airtight & Vibration-Resistant: O-ring + metal collet provide reliable sealing within 0–0.9 MPa, 5–60 °C.
• Applications: Side branching inside machines, near-cylinder feeds, behind-panel teeing, rail-side bypasses, compact module splits, and quick local branch add-ons.

Q1: How does TB differ from TT?
A: TB uses two push-in ports forming an L plus a threaded leg to make the T; TT keeps the two push-in ports inline with a threaded leg. Different outlet orientation affects routing and pressure loss.

Q2: Are TB and TT interchangeable?
A: Not directly. Choose based on available space, branch direction, and ΔP considerations to avoid dead corners and excessive bends.

Q3: Where is TB commonly used?
A: Near-point side branching in automation equipment, near-cylinder feeds, compact behind-panel splits, and rail-side modules.

Q4: Do RC threaded models require PTFE tape?
A: Typically no. RC (BSPT) threads are factory pre-sealed; after multiple reuses, reapply sealant or add a light PTFE wrap if needed.

Q5: Recommended installation steps?
A: Wrench and orient the threaded end → cut the tube square, deburr, clean/dry → push fully to the stop → pull-check → pressure-hold/leak-test.

Q6: Can the fitting be reused?
A: Yes—if the O-ring and metal collet are undamaged. Re-cut a fresh section if the tube end is scratched or ovalized before reinsertion.

Q7: What tubing and sizes are supported?
A: PU and nylon (PA) tubing in 4 mm and 6 mm OD; match tube OD to the fitting for proper grip and sealing.
