Prevost Conex Y Male

Description

Prevost Conex Y Male

Direct Port Branching for Optimized Air Distribution

The Prevost Conex Y Male is a high-performance “Male-to-Tube” manifold fitting designed to split a single air supply into two parallel lines directly from a threaded port. By combining a male threaded base with a “Y” shaped push-to-connect body, this fitting eliminates the need for intermediate adapters, providing a streamlined and efficient junction at the source.

The “Y” geometry is an engineering favorite over traditional “T” fittings, as the angled branches facilitate a more natural air path, reducing turbulence and ensuring balanced pressure for downstream components.

Key Features

• Direct Port Splitting: Features a male threaded inlet (NPT, BSPP, or BSPT) that installs directly into valve manifolds, cylinders, or air preparation units. It instantly converts a single outlet into two parallel push-in ports.
• 360° Swivel Body: The “Y” body rotates fully around the nickel-plated brass base after installation. This allows for perfect orientation of the branch lines, ensuring they align with your tubing runs and stay clear of mechanical obstructions.
• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: Both outlet ports are equipped with Prevost’s signature stainless steel gripping rings. Simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) in for a secure, airtight, and vibration-proof seal without the need for tools.
• Balanced Airflow Dynamics: The internal chamber is designed to distribute air equally to both branch ports. This is critical for applications requiring synchronized movement of two pneumatic actuators or consistent signal delivery to dual sensors.
• Rugged Hybrid Construction: Built with a high-strength nickel-plated brass threaded base and a high-impact technical polymer body. This combination offers excellent mechanical durability and resistance to industrial oils and corrosion.

The Efficient Alternative for Compact Manifolds

The Prevost Conex Y Male is the ideal solution for “cleaning up” pneumatic systems. In many layouts, technicians are forced to use a straight connector followed by a union tee, which adds length and multiple potential leak points. The Conex Y Male solves this by:

1. Reducing Profile: The low-profile design keeps the tubing exit close to the port.
2. Parallel Routing: Because the two tubes exit at a narrow angle, they can be bundled together immediately, making them easier to route through cable tracks or protective sleeving.
3. Minimizing Leaks: Fewer connection points mean a more reliable system with less maintenance downtime.

Ideal Applications

• Valve Manifolds: Splitting a single solenoid valve output to drive two separate cylinders.
• Air Preparation Units: Providing two supply lines directly from a filter-regulator outlet.
• Robotic End-Effectors: Distributing air to multiple vacuum cups or grippers on a compact robotic head.
• Pneumatic Logic: Feeding a single pressure signal to two different control components or gauges.

Installation Tip

When threading the fitting into your port, use a wrench on the hexagonal brass base to ensure a secure, leak-free seal. Once the base is tight, swivel the polymer body to your desired angle before inserting your squared-off tubing. For best results, always use a dedicated tube cutter to ensure the ends are not crushed or angled.
