Description

Prevost Conex Equal Multiple Tee

Consolidated Multi-Port Distribution for Streamlined Pneumatics

The Prevost Conex Equal Multiple Tee (also known as a Manifold Tee) is a high-density distribution fitting designed to split a single air supply into multiple parallel lines of the same diameter. By replacing a series of standard “T” unions with a single, integrated manifold block, this fitting significantly reduces the number of potential leak points and simplifies the complex “spaghetti” of tubing found in advanced pneumatic circuits.

This is the professional solution for engineers and technicians who need to feed a bank of cylinders, valves, or sensors from a single primary source without cluttering the installation space.

Key Features

• Integrated Manifold Logic: Features one main inlet and multiple equal-diameter outlets (typically 2, 3, or 4 ports) in a single molded body. This provides a centralized hub for air distribution, making the system easier to organize and troubleshoot.
• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: All ports are equipped with Prevost’s signature stainless steel gripping rings. Installation is 100% tool-free; simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) into the ports for an immediate, vibration-proof, and airtight seal.
• Compact, Space-Saving Profile: Consolidating several junctions into one component dramatically reduces the physical footprint of your pneumatic assembly, making it ideal for tight enclosures and compact machinery.
• Balanced Airflow Distribution: The internal chamber is precision-molded to ensure that pressure and flow are distributed equally across all outlet ports. This is critical for the synchronized operation of multiple pneumatic actuators.
• High-Impact Technical Polymer: Manufactured from a durable, corrosion-resistant composite. It is lightweight enough to be supported by the tubing itself yet robust enough to handle industrial pressures up to 145 PSI.

The Efficient Alternative to “Daisy-Chaining”

In traditional pneumatic setups, splitting a line multiple times requires “daisy-chaining” several individual T-fittings together. This method is bulky, aesthetically messy, and increases the risk of failure at every connection point. The Prevost Conex Equal Multiple Tee solves these issues by:

1. Reducing Leak Paths: Fewer total fittings mean a more reliable system over time.
2. Professional Appearance: Creates a clean, “manifold-style” layout that reflects high-quality machine design.
3. Easier Bundling: Because the outlets are positioned in a row, the exiting tubes can be easily bundled into protective sleeves or cable tracks.

Ideal Applications

• Control Cabinets: Distributing air from a main supply to a bank of solenoid valves or pressure switches.
• Automated Assembly: Powering multiple identical pneumatic grippers or cylinders on a single machine stage.
• Packaging Machinery: Feeding multiple air nozzles or suction cups from a central distribution point.
• Pneumatic Pilot Circuits: Splitting a single control signal to multiple downstream logic components.

Installation Tip

To ensure an airtight seal across all ports, always use a dedicated tube cutter to ensure every tube end is cut perfectly square. When inserting the tubing, push firmly until it seats past the internal O-ring. If a port is not in use, it can be sealed with a Prevost Conex Blanking Plug to maintain system pressure.
