Y FITTING WITH PIN

A pneumatic Y fitting with pin is a specialized type of push-to-connect fitting used in pneumatic systems to divert the flow of a single air line into two separate lines, forming a 'Y' shape. The "Y" shape provides an even split for air distribution. The defining feature, the "pin," is a small, usually rigid, stabilizing component located on the main body of the fitting. Key Features & Function Tubing Connection: It typically has three ports for connecting pneumatic tubing: one inlet and two outlets. These use a quick-connect mechanism for fast and secure assembly without tools. The Pin: The primary function of the pin is mounting and stabilization. It allows the fitting to be securely snapped or fastened into a fixed mounting hole on a manifold, panel, or machine frame. This prevents the fitting from rotating or being pulled out by the connected tubing, which is crucial for neat and reliable routing in complex machinery. Applications: They are commonly used when air needs to be supplied to two separate points (like two small actuators or indicators) from a single source line, while ensuring the fitting itself is locked firmly in place.
