Prevost Conex Male Branch Tee

Description

Prevost Conex Male Branch Tee

Efficient Vertical Air Distribution for Complex Manifolds

The Prevost Conex Male Branch Tee is a versatile, push-to-connect fitting designed to create a “T” junction directly from a threaded port. Featuring two push-in tubing outlets and one male threaded base, this fitting allows you to split an air signal or supply into two directions immediately at the point of exit from a valve, cylinder, or manifold.

With its high-performance swivel design and industrial-grade construction, the Male Branch Tee is the professional choice for clean, organized, and high-flow pneumatic routing.

Key Features

• 360° Swivel Base: The upper “T” body rotates fully around the threaded mounting base. This allows you to orient the tubing outlets in any direction after the fitting has been tightened into the port, ensuring perfect alignment with your tubing runs.
• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: Equipped with Prevost’s precision stainless steel gripping rings on both tube ports. Simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) in for a secure, vibration-proof, and airtight connection—no tools or clamps required.
• Compact “Branch” Configuration: By placing the threaded port at the center (the “branch”) of the Tee, this fitting allows for symmetrical air distribution. This is ideal for feeding two identical actuators or sensors from a single source.
• Nickel-Plated Brass & Polymer Hybrid: The threaded base is manufactured from high-strength nickel-plated brass for mechanical durability, while the body is made from high-impact technical polymer for a lightweight, corrosion-resistant finish.
• Integrated Thread Sealant: Most models feature pre-applied thread sealant or an integrated O-ring. This ensures a 100% leak-free seal upon installation, saving time and eliminating the need for Teflon tape.

Design Efficiency: Splitting at the Source

The Prevost Conex Male Branch Tee is engineered to eliminate unnecessary fittings. Instead of using a straight connector followed by a union tee, the Branch Tee performs both functions in a single, compact unit. This reduces the number of potential leak points in your system and lowers the overall profile of your pneumatic assembly, which is critical in modern, space-constrained machinery.

Ideal Applications

• Cylinder Porting: Splitting a single air supply to fire two cylinders simultaneously or to feed a cylinder and a localized sensor.
• Manifold Expansion: Adding additional outlets to a central distribution block without increasing the footprint.
• Pneumatic Logic Gates: Creating “Y” splits in control signals for automated machinery.
• FRL Distribution: Taking a main air supply from a regulator and splitting it to two separate tool stations.

Installation Best Practice

To ensure a perfect seal, always use a dedicated tube cutter to ensure your tubing ends are square. When inserting the tube, push firmly until it seats past the internal O-ring. To disconnect, simply depress the release collar and pull the tube out—no damage is done to the tubing, making it fully reusable.
