Description

Prevost Conex Micro Male Tee Piece

Miniaturized Multi-Directional Flow for Precise Pneumatic Routing

The Prevost Conex Micro Male Tee Piece (also known as a Male Branch Tee) is an ultra-compact, push-to-connect fitting designed to provide a 90 split directly from a threaded port. Featuring two push-in tubing outlets and one male threaded base, this fitting allows you to distribute a single air supply into two separate lines immediately at the point of exit from a miniature valve, cylinder, or manifold.

As part of the Micro series, it is specifically engineered for high-density environments where space is at an absolute premium and standard industrial fittings are too bulky for the application.

Key Features

• Space-Saving Micro Geometry: Optimized for small-bore tubing (typically 3mm, 4mm, or 6mm) and miniature threads (M3, M5, or 1/8″). It is the ideal solution for compact robotic “wrists,” medical devices, and intricate automation cabinets.
• 360° Swivel Capability: The polymer “T” body rotates fully around the nickel-plated brass base after installation. This allows for perfect tubing alignment and ensures the outlets are positioned exactly where they are needed, regardless of the final thread orientation.
• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: Equipped with Prevost’s signature stainless steel gripping rings on both tubing ports. Installation is tool-free—simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) in for a secure, vibration-proof, and airtight seal.
• Balanced Symmetrical Output: The “Branch Tee” design ensures that air from the threaded port is split equally between the two side outlets, making it perfect for feeding synchronized miniature actuators or dual sensors.
• Industrial-Grade Durability: Despite its small size, it features a rugged nickel-plated brass base for mechanical strength and a high-impact technical polymer body resistant to corrosion and common workshop oils.

The Standard for Precision Miniaturization

In micro-automation, every millimeter of saved space contributes to a leaner, more efficient machine. The Prevost Conex Micro Male Tee Piece acts as a localized manifold, allowing you to branch your air supply without the need for additional “daisy-chained” union tees. This reduces the number of components in your assembly, simplifies your bill of materials, and creates a much cleaner, more professional look inside your equipment.

Ideal Applications

• Miniature Actuator Synchronization: Splitting a single valve port to fire two micro-cylinders at the exact same moment.
• Pressure Signal Distribution: Running one line to a miniature actuator and the second to a pressure switch or transducer for system feedback.
• Dental & Medical Hardware: Managing air and gas distribution within handheld tools and compact diagnostic cabinets.
• Pick-and-Place Robotics: Providing air supply for dual vacuum cups or grippers on a single high-speed robotic head.

Installation Tip

When working with miniature threads like M3 or M5, ensure the port is clean of debris before installation. Tighten the brass hex base with a precision wrench—avoid over-torquing, as these small threads require a delicate touch. Once secure, swivel the body to the desired angle before inserting your squared-off micro-tubing.
