Prevost Conex Equal Union Tee

Description

Prevost Conex Equal Union Tee

Balanced Distribution for Complex Pneumatic Circuits

The Prevost Conex Equal Union Tee is a high-performance, push-to-connect fitting designed to split a single air line into two separate paths, or to merge two lines into one. As an “Equal” union, all three ports are designed for the same tubing diameter, ensuring a balanced flow and simplified inventory for your pneumatic projects.

Whether you are building a complex automation manifold or simply adding a secondary tool to a workbench drop, the Conex Union Tee provides a secure, tool-free connection that maintains total system integrity.

Key Features

• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: Equipped with Prevost’s signature stainless steel gripping rings in all three ports. Simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) into the fitting for an immediate, airtight, and vibration-resistant connection.
• Tool-Free Disconnection: The manual release collars allow for rapid system reconfiguration. By depressing the collar, the internal teeth retract, allowing the tubing to be removed without damage or scarring.
• Balanced Internal Flow: The “T” geometry is precision-molded to minimize turbulence. This ensures that air pressure is distributed equally to both outlet branches, which is critical for synchronized pneumatic cylinders or consistent tool performance.
• Robust Composite Construction: Manufactured from high-impact technical polymer, this fitting is lightweight yet durable enough to withstand the “knockabout” conditions of an industrial environment. It is naturally resistant to corrosion and common workshop chemicals.
• Compact Footprint: The streamlined design allows the tee to be used in tight spaces, such as inside control cabinets or along narrow machine frames, without creating bulky “snag points.”

The “In-Line” Advantage

Unlike threaded tees that require a fixed mounting point, the Conex Equal Union Tee can be used as a “floating” connector. This gives you the flexibility to split air lines exactly where you need them along a run of flexible tubing, rather than being forced to return to a rigid manifold. It is the perfect solution for adding “on-the-fly” accessories like pressure gauges, blow guns, or additional sensors to an existing line.

Ideal Applications

• Cylinder Synchronization: Splitting a main pilot line to fire two identical cylinders at the exact same moment.
• Modular Workstations: Diverting air from a main drop to power both a primary assembly tool and a dust-extraction or cooling nozzle.
• Pneumatic Logic Circuits: Creating “OR” or “AND” gates within complex air-driven control systems.
• Mobile Equipment: Lightweight routing for air suspension or pneumatic braking systems on specialized carts and trolleys.

Installation Tip

To ensure a 100% leak-free seal, always use a dedicated tube cutter to ensure your tubing ends are cut perfectly square. When inserting the tube into the Union Tee, push firmly until you feel it “seat” past the internal O-ring. A quick tug on each line will confirm the gripping teeth are fully engaged.
