MALE Y (CPX)

A Pneumatic Male Y (CPX/PX) is a common type of push-to-connect fitting used in compressed air systems. ??? Description and Function This fitting is designed to divide a single air supply line into two separate lines, creating a "Y" junction. Male Thread: It features a male thread (e.g., BSPT, NPT) on the stem of the "Y" which screws directly into a component's port, such as a valve, cylinder, or regulator. Push-to-Connect Ports: The two branching ends of the "Y" use a quick-connect/push-in mechanism to allow for fast, tool-free connection and disconnection of pneumatic tubing (usually Polyurethane or Nylon). Purpose: It is used for branching or routing a single source of compressed air to two different points in an automation or pneumatic circuit. The "CPX" or "PX" in the model name often denotes a Male Y Branch fitting with a push-in connection on the two branching arms and a threaded male connector on the third port.
