About the Airtac PY Y-Type Tee Connector PY6
The AirTAC PY6 is a union Y, a three-port tube-to-tube fitting that splits one Dia 6 supply line into two Dia 6 branches with no threaded stud involved. Push each soft nylon or polyurethane tube into its port and the internal stainless spring gasket and chuck grip the outside wall; press the release ring to let go. The PBT body carries a POM release button and NBR O-rings, and the standard finish is grey - a D suffix swaps the body to black.
This is the resin one-touch profile, so it is rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C. Because there is no thread, the port question disappears: all three legs take exactly 6 mm OD tubing, so a 1/4 inch tube will neither seat nor seal.

Fitting & Sealing Notes
- check Cut the tube square and clean before pushing it home, or the seal will leak.
- check Push until it stops, then pull back to check the chuck has gripped.
- check To release, press the collet ring fully in and pull the tube out.
- check Threaded parts arrive with sealant on the thread; M5 sizes use a sealing gasket.
- check Match the tube OD exactly - a 6 mm fitting will not hold 1/4" tube.
Where the Airtac PY Y-Type Tee Connector PY6 Is Used
Twin suction-cup feed
Splits one vacuum drop from an ejector into two Dia 6 lines feeding a pair of cups on a pick-and-place gantry handling flat sheet or carton blanks.
Dual cooling-air jets
Branches a 6 mm shop-air feed to two nozzles that blow chips clear of the cutting zone on a CNC machining centre between passes.
Two-line lab dosing
Routes clean dry air from a single bench regulator to two small pneumatic pumps mounted on a compact analytical instrument frame.
Is the Airtac PY Y-Type Tee Connector PY6 the Right Part?
PY4 steps down and PY8 steps up on this series - what changes is the bore feeding both branches, so a 4 mm Y suits slim pick heads while an 8 mm Y carries more volume to hungrier twin actuators. Match the Y to your circuit by tubing OD, not by thread. If you actually need a branch taken off a threaded port, that is the PYB male branch Y instead; the PY6 has no stud at all. And tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 6 port will not hold 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) tube.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Tube outside diameter matches exactly
- ✓ Thread size and standard match the port
- ✓ Working pressure within 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2)
- ✓ Temperature within -20 to +70 °C
Airtac PY Y-Type Tee Connector PY6 FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. All three ports accept Dia 6 mm OD soft nylon or polyurethane tube.
Yes - it is rated to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) negative pressure, so it handles ejector and suction-cup vacuum as well as pressure. The NBR O-ring seals on the tube OD, so the tube must be exactly 6 mm and undamaged; use soft nylon or PU, because stiff hard-wall tube can back out under vacuum cycling.
