Prevost Conex Equal Y

Description

Prevost Conex Equal Y

Streamlined Dual Distribution for High-Efficiency Pneumatics

The Prevost Conex Equal Y is a premium push-to-connect union designed to split a single air line into two parallel paths. Unlike a traditional T-junction, the “Y” geometry allows the air to follow a more natural, linear flow path. This reduces internal turbulence and ensures that both outlet lines receive a balanced volume of air with minimal pressure drop.

Whether you are powering two identical cylinders or splitting a main supply line for multiple tool stations, the Conex Equal Y provides a compact, secure, and professional solution for modern pneumatic routing.

Key Features

• Optimized “Y” Geometry: The angled branch design is engineered for superior flow dynamics compared to 90-degree tees. This makes it the ideal choice for high-velocity systems where maintaining consistent pressure is critical.
• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: Equipped with Prevost’s signature stainless steel gripping rings on all three ports. Simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) into the fitting for an immediate, airtight, and vibration-resistant connection.
• Balanced Dual Output: Provides an equal split of air volume, ensuring that downstream components—such as synchronized actuators—operate with identical timing and force.
• Compact & Lightweight: The streamlined profile allows the “Y” union to fit easily into wire tracks, cable chains, or tight enclosures where space is at a premium.
• Durable Technical Polymer: Constructed from high-impact, corrosion-resistant polymer that is compatible with compressed air, vacuum, and common industrial oils.

The Professional Layout Advantage

In a well-designed pneumatic system, “spaghetti” tubing is a liability. The Prevost Conex Equal Y promotes “parallel routing,” allowing two tubes to run side-by-side along a machine frame. This not only looks more professional but also makes the lines easier to bundle into protective sleeving or cable tracks, reducing the risk of accidental snags or mechanical damage.

Ideal Applications

• Synchronized Actuators: Splitting a pilot signal to ensure two cylinders extend at exactly the same moment.
• Dual Tool Stations: Feeding two air-driven screwdrivers or blow guns from a single overhead drop.
• Pneumatic Manifolds: Creating modular branches for sensors and air-logic components.
• Robotic End-Effectors: Distributing air to multiple vacuum cups or grippers on a single robotic arm.

Installation Tip

For a perfect seal, ensure your tubing is cut square using a dedicated tube cutter. Push each tube into the “Y” until you feel it seat past the internal O-ring. Because the Y-union is lightweight, it can be left “floating” in a tubing run or secured using standard pneumatic mounting clips.
