LPY Series Union Y Push-in Fittings

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our LPY Series:

Efficient Y-Shape Flow Path:

The "Y" configuration is ideal for splitting or mixing air flows with minimal pressure loss, making it a high-performance alternative to a standard union tee.

Instant Push-to-Connect Design:

The one-touch mechanism allows for effortless, tool-free connection and disconnection of tubing from all three ports.

Full Range of Metric & Imperial Sizes:

We offer a complete selection of sizes to connect both metric (4mm-16mm) and imperial (5/32"-1/2") tubing of the same diameter.

Compact & Durable Body:

The robust PBT body provides excellent durability while maintaining a compact footprint, suitable for a wide range of installations.

Suitable for Vacuum Applications:

The reliable seal design is effective for both positive pressure up to 1.0 MPa and vacuum applications down to -100 kPa.

Customization and OEM Options:

We offer custom colors for the body and release sleeve and can feature your company logo on the fittings to meet your OEM requirements (subject to MOQ).

Application Fields

Ideal Applications for Our LPY Series:

Splitting Cylinder Supply Lines: Supplying air to two separate locations from a single source line with optimized flow.

Branching Control Signals: Splitting a pilot signal to actuate two valves simultaneously.

Merging Exhaust Lines: Combining the exhaust from two components into a single line.

Robotics & Automation: Creating compact and efficient air distribution paths on automated equipment.

Technical & Selection Guide

Union Y (LPY) vs. Union Tee (LPE):

Choose a Union Y (this LPY series) when you need to split a flow as smoothly as possible with minimal pressure drop. The angled paths are more aerodynamically efficient.

Choose a Union Tee (LPE series) for general-purpose 90-degree branching where the sharp angle is more suitable for the machine layout.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: What does "PY 08" mean?

A: "PY" indicates a Union Y, and "08" means it is designed for 8mm OD tubing on all three ports.

Q: Can I use this fitting to connect different sizes of tubing?

A: No, the LPY is a standard union Y for connecting tubes of the same size. To connect different sizes, you would need a reducing union Y.
