GENTLE TBY Y-Type Quick Coupler｜Threaded Manifold Air Splitter

• Symmetric, Same-Size Outlets: Dual equal push-in ports deliver balanced distribution with lower pressure loss.
• Bottom Thread with Hex Wrench Flats: Threaded port on the bottom; the hex above enables precise wrench tightening and stable orientation.
• Smooth Y-Branching: Natural split angle reduces sharp-bend resistance—ideal for long runs or higher flow demand.
• One-Touch, Tool-Free Service: Push-in ends speed installation/removal, cutting downtime.
• Pre-Applied Thread Sealant: Leak-tight assembly without PTFE tape in typical use; after repeated re-use, add PTFE tape as needed to restore peak sealing.
• Applications: Valve islands/manifolds, twin-station fixtures, parallel end-tool feeds, and tidy in-cabinet distribution. For best stability, use the threaded port as the inlet and the two push-in ports as outlets.

Q1: How does a Y-type differ from a T-type?
A: A tee splits at a right angle for flexible routing; a Y fitting / wye uses a natural angle for smoother airflow and lower pressure drop over distance.

Q2: Are the two push-in outlets the same size? Can I reduce one side?
A: Yes—TBY uses symmetric, equal-size outlets. For size changes, use dedicated reducer unions/adapters to preserve sealing and flow.

Q3: How should the threaded port be tightened?
A: Use the hex flats above the thread for wrench tightening and outlet alignment; apply appropriate torque and avoid over-tightening.

Q4: Do I need PTFE tape?
A: The threads are pre-sealed. If sealing degrades after multiple reassemblies, apply a light PTFE wrap as needed, keeping sealant out of the flow path.

Q5: What's the recommended flow direction?
A: Use the threaded port as the inlet and the two push-in ports as outlets for balanced distribution.

Q6: Which tubing materials and sizes are supported?
A: PU and nylon (PA) tubing; select the matching OD and ensure the tube end is cut square, deburred, and fully inserted.

Q7: What operating range does it support?
A: Reference 0–0.9 MPa and 5–60 °C. Validate against your system conditions and tubing specifications.

Q8: How do I fix a minor leak?
A: Verify a clean, square cut and full insertion; check thread seating. Add a thin PTFE wrap if needed and inspect sealing faces/threads.
