Watson Branch Y 8mm to 3/8" Pneumatic Fitting (CTX-8-03)
This is Watson Industries Branch Y pneumatic fitting that has 8mm Push-In ports on two of the ends, and a 3/8" BSP male thread on the middle end. This is a real value proposition due to its quality to price ratio, and is one of our popular pneumatic fitting products in the UK.
Branch Y Fittings
Branch Y fittings are a type of Y fittings that have a threaded connection in the middle end whilst the two other ends have push-in fittings.
They are used to connect to pneumatic components with a threaded connection (e.g. valves, cylinders), whereby compressed air is still able to flow through a path, without entering the component.
Push-In Fitting Usage
With Push-In fittings, simply place your tubing into the tube end of the fitting, and lock jaws will engage to. A gentle tug will ensure that your tubing is locked into place, rendering it suitable for high pressure usage in pneumatic systems.
To disconnect the tubing, push the release ring. This disengages the lock jaws, and the tubing is able to move freely.
