When you need to branch a single compressed-air or pneumatic line into two paths, a loose or corroded fitting is the last thing you want. Machinists, automation technicians, and serious DIYers who build pneumatic circuits know that a leaky junction wastes pressure, slows actuators, and creates frustrating troubleshooting sessions. These 304 stainless steel Y-type push-to-connect pneumatic equal connectors are built for exactly that job — delivering a secure, tool-free split in your air line that holds under pressure.
Each piece is a single Y-shaped equal connector machined from 304 stainless steel, with push-fit collet ports on all three legs. Available in five outer-diameter sizes — PY-4mm (≈5/32"), PY-6mm (≈1/4"), PY-8mm (≈5/16"), PY-10mm (≈3/8"), and PY-12mm (≈1/2") — to match standard pneumatic tubing. Order in quantities of 1, 2, 5, or 10 pieces depending on your project scale.
Typical use cases include splitting air supply lines in automated assembly fixtures, routing compressed air to dual cylinders in DIY pneumatic presses, and building clean branch points in workshop air distribution systems — anywhere a reliable push-fit Y-connector for pneumatic tubing is needed.

Match the PY size to your tubing's outer diameter (OD). PY-4mm fits 4mm OD tubing (≈5/32"), PY-6mm fits 6mm OD (≈1/4"), PY-8mm fits 8mm OD (≈5/16"), PY-10mm fits 10mm OD (≈3/8"), and PY-12mm fits 12mm OD (≈1/2"). Use calipers to measure your tubing OD if you are unsure — do not rely on the tubing's labeled inner diameter.
These push-to-connect fittings are generally compatible with polyurethane (PU), nylon (PA), and polyethylene (PE) pneumatic tubing of the matching outer diameter. Confirm that your tubing's wall thickness and hardness are within the fitting's grip range before use in pressurized systems.
Yes. 304 stainless steel provides good resistance to moisture, mild chemicals, and atmospheric corrosion — making these connectors suitable for outdoor pneumatic circuits and humid industrial environments. For exposure to strong acids, chlorides, or aggressive chemicals, contact us to confirm suitability before ordering.
Working pressure typically ranges up to approximately 0.8–1.0 MPa (≈116–145 psi) for push-fit pneumatic fittings in this size range under normal operating conditions. Actual rated pressure depends on the specific size and tubing type. Contact us to confirm the rated pressure for your selected variant before use in high-pressure applications.
No tools are required. Push the tubing firmly and squarely into the port until it seats fully — you will feel it click into the collet. To disconnect, press the collet ring inward while pulling the tubing out. Always cut tubing ends cleanly and squarely (use a tube cutter, not scissors) for a reliable, leak-free seal.
For a single repair or prototype branch point, 1–2 pcs is generally sufficient. For small pneumatic panel builds or systems with several Y-junctions, 5 pcs is a practical quantity. The 10-pcs option offers the best per-unit value for larger installations, production fixtures, or keeping spares on hand for maintenance.
In most cases, yes — push-fit pneumatic fittings can be reconnected multiple times. However, repeated disconnection may gradually reduce the collet's grip strength over time. Inspect the collet teeth and internal O-ring for wear before reusing in critical or high-cycle pressure applications.
