UNEQUAL-Y (CPWY)

The Pneumatic Unequal-Y (CPWY) is a type of push-to-connect fitting used in compressed air (pneumatic) systems. It is a three-port connector shaped like the letter 'Y', designed for splitting or combining the flow of compressed air. Key Feature: Unequal Ports The defining characteristic of an Unequal-Y fitting is that the three ports (one inlet and two outlets, or vice-versa) are designed to accept different tubing diameters. Function: It is used to connect a main air supply line to two smaller branch lines, or to transition from one size of tube down to two different smaller sizes. Application: This is essential for applications where different pneumatic components (like two different-sized cylinders or tools) require different air line sizes, allowing for efficient and neat system layout without needing multiple adapters.
