SPYX Series Stainless Steel Male Y Fittings (Push-in, Swivel)

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our SPYX Series:

Efficient Y-Splitter Design:

The Y-shaped body splits a single input into two outputs at an angle, which can improve flow dynamics and create a cleaner tubing layout compared to a standard tee.

360° Swivel for Easy Installation:

The threaded body can be tightened independently, allowing the main Y body to be rotated a full 360 degrees. This makes it incredibly easy to aim the two branch lines exactly where they need to go.

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 & Thread Options:

We stock a full range of sizes to fit any system.

Tube OD (Metric): 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm

Tube OD (Inch): 5/32", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2"

Port Sizes: M5, 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" in NPT, BSPP (G), and BSPT (P) threads.

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

Splitting Air Lines with a Smart Design:

Powering Two Angled Cylinders: Ideal for splitting the air supply from a single valve port to operate two cylinders positioned at an angle to each other.

Compact Machine Layouts: The Y-design often allows for a more direct and less convoluted tubing path than a tee fitting.

Food & Beverage Machinery: A hygienic stainless steel Y splitter for processing and packaging equipment.

Robotics & Automation: Providing multiple, angled air connections for grippers and other end-of-arm tooling.

Technical & Selection Guide

Y Fitting (SPYX) vs. Tee Fitting (SPB): Which Do I Need?

Choose this Y Fitting (SPYX) if: You need to split a line and the two branch tubes will run outwards at an angle from each other. This often results in a neater installation with less tubing stress.

Choose a Branch Tee (SPB) if: You need the two branch tubes to run parallel to each other, 180 degrees apart.

The choice is typically based on the physical layout of your machine and tubing routes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: What is a "swivel Y fitting"?

A: It means after you tighten the male thread into the port, you can still rotate the entire Y-shaped body 360 degrees. This allows you to position the two tube outlets at the most convenient angle before connecting the tubes.

Q: Are the two tube connections the same size?

A: Yes, on a standard male Y fitting, both push-in ports are for the same tube diameter.

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.
