About Y-hose connectors

Y hose connectors split a hose line into two branches or bring two branches back together without the need for a manifold block. The group fits hose inner diameters from 3 to 19 mm at a maximum working pressure of 10 bar. Alongside the symmetrical parts there are reducing versions in which the branch has a different bore than the inlet.

What matters when choosing

• Hose I.D. 3 to 19 mm: the connector has to match the bore of the hose in use. Reducing versions have different sizes on inlet and branches, so the dimension is stated in several parts.
• Material acetal copolymer (POM), brass CW617N or a combination of brass CW617N and POM. POM stays light and abrasion resistant, the brass share takes more mechanical load at the joint.
• Max. working pressure of 10 bar applies to all 21 items in the group. Above that system pressure a threaded fitting is the better choice than a push-on connector.
• Max. medium temperature of 90 °C is stated for part of the range only. The brass and POM combinations are limited more tightly than the all-POM parts, so the value on the item decides.

Typical applications

• Splitting a compressed air line to two consumers on one machine
• Merging two hose branches ahead of a common connection point
• Extending or repairing existing hose installations without rebuilding the manifold
• Media routing in PA and PUR hoses on assembly and handling equipment
• Test rigs and laboratory setups operated up to 10 bar

The available materials are acetal copolymer (POM), brass CW617N and combinations of the two. Manufacturing takes place in Germany and China.
