PEG Reducing Tee Fitting: Tube Sizes and Selection Guide
A machine air line often needs to continue in one tube size while supplying a smaller branch to a nearby device. Using an equal tee followed by a separate reducer can work, but it adds connections and takes up space. A pneumatic reducing tee combines the branch connection and tube-size transition in one fitting. The HOMIPNEU PEG Reducing Tee Pneumatic Fitting is a push-to-connect air connector for this type of mixed-size routing. Its published range includes 11 combinations, from PEG6-4 to PEG16-12, for compatible PU and nylon tubing. Choosing the correct PEG model starts with the outside diameter of all three tubes. It also requires checking the smaller branch’s airflow demand, the shared supply capacity and the installation space. This guide explains those decisions with a model chart and practical machine-layout examples. What Is a PEG Pneumatic Reducing Tee? A PEG fitting joins three pneumatic tubes in a T-shaped connection. In the listed product range, two sockets share one tube size, identified as D1, while the third socket accepts a smaller tube, identified as D2. The product table labels these dimensions D1 × 2 and D2. For example, PEG8-6 has two connections for 8 mm OD tubing and one connection…
