SMC 10-KGT08-00 | Clean Room Stainless Steel One-Touch Fitting KGT Series Union Tee 8mm Tube OD Three-Way Connector

The SMC 10-KGT08-00 is a clean room specification stainless steel one-touch union tee from the KGT series for 8mm tube OD. Part number decoded: KGT = stainless steel one-touch union tee, 08 = 8mm tube OD on all three ports, 00 = equal-size union (all ports same diameter). The union tee splits or combines one pneumatic line into two branches (or vice versa) without threaded ports, using push-in tube connections on all three legs.

The union tee is a fundamental pneumatic circuit element for distributing air supply from one source to two downstream devices, or for creating bypass paths and monitoring taps. In clean room equipment, common applications include splitting a regulated supply to feed two parallel cylinders, creating a pressure gauge tap alongside a working line, and distributing vacuum to multiple suction points. The KGT08-00 equal-size tee maintains consistent flow area across all three branches, minimizing pressure drop at the junction.

Stainless steel (SUS316) construction provides corrosion resistance and zero particle generation from plating degradation. One-touch push-in connection on all three ports enables tool-free assembly and disassembly. For different tube sizes, KGT series tees cover 4mm through 12mm OD. For reducing tees (different tube size on one branch), the KGT series includes mixed-size configurations. For straight unions, the KGH series provides two-port tube-to-tube connections. For branch tees with a threaded port, the KGD series adds a male thread on the branch. Clean series (10-) fluorine grease, Particle Grade 1. RoHS compliant.
