Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our SPYG Series:

In-Line Branch Reduction:

The reducing Y design allows you to easily create two smaller branch lines from a single larger main line, such as splitting a 10mm tube run into two 8mm lines, without needing multiple fittings.

Convenient Mounting Hole:

A pass-through hole in the center of the fitting allows it to be securely fastened to a machine frame or panel, providing extra stability for your pneumatic plumbing.

Premium Stainless Steel Construction:

Available in both 304 and 316 stainless steel, these fittings offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and high temperatures.

Comprehensive Size Combinations:

We offer a wide variety of reduction combinations to meet your needs, covering both metric and inch tube combinations.

Food-Grade & Oil-Free Design:

Manufactured to be oil-free and compliant with the Food Hygiene Law, our food grade Y fittings are safe for use in sanitary applications.

Application Fields

Symmetrically Splitting Your Main Air Line:

Powering Dual Actuators: Perfectly suited for splitting an air supply to symmetrically power two smaller cylinders or actuators.

Creating Sub-Circuits: Tapping off a main air header to supply two individual machines or smaller pneumatic circuits.

Food & Beverage Machinery: A hygienic stainless steel Y reducer for complex routing on processing and packaging equipment.

Laboratory & Instrumentation: Creating multiple, smaller sample or carrier gas lines from a single larger source.

Technical & Selection Guide

How to Select a Reducing Y

Choosing the right reducing Y is simple:

Identify the Outside Diameter (OD) of your main, inlet tube (e.g., 12mm).

Identify the Outside Diameter (OD) of your two smaller, outlet tubes (e.g., 8mm).

Select the corresponding part number (e.g., S-PYG12-08-08).

This fitting is ideal for creating two smaller branches of equal size.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: What does "reducing union Y" mean?

A: It's a Y-shaped fitting designed to connect three tubes, where the single inlet port is for a larger tube size, and the two branch outlet ports are for a smaller, equal tube size.

Q: Can this fitting be used in a washdown environment?

A: Yes, the 316 stainless steel construction is designed to withstand the water and cleaning chemicals used in industrial washdown procedures, making it a perfect choice for the food and beverage industry.

Q. What is the difference between this and a reducing tee?

A: A reducing Y splits the flow at an angle, which can provide a smoother transition and a more compact layout in some designs compared to a 90-degree reducing tee.
