About the Airtac PY Y-Type Tee Connector PY6D
The AirTAC PY6D is a union Y from the resin one-touch range: three Dia 6 mm tube ends meeting in one angled branch body, with no threaded port anywhere on the part. Push each tube home until it bottoms and the chuck jaws plus stainless spring gasket clamp the outside diameter; press the release ring and the tube slides straight back out. Because every connection is tube-to-tube, no thread sealant or M5 gasket ever enters the picture.
This part runs the resin and brass spec profile, not the metal one: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The D suffix delivers the whole body in black - on the PY series the colour covers the body itself, unlike PC and POC straight connectors where the D suffix changes only the release button. Grey and black PY6D parts are otherwise identical in every published dimension and rating.

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 PY6D Is Used
PCB pick-and-place twin-cup vacuum head
The -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum rating lets a PY6D split one ejector line to two suction cups on a small SMT placement head, keeping both cups on a single 6 mm leg back to the manifold.
Bottle-rinsing blow-off station
A packaging machine nozzle block can branch one 6 mm supply into two angled air jets aimed at bottle shoulders, with the Y body sitting where the tubes naturally diverge.
Twin small-bore cylinders on a jig fixture
Where a welding or assembly fixture drives two compact 6 mm-fed actuators from one regulator drop, the union Y branches the line without adding a threaded tee and two extra fittings.
Is the Airtac PY Y-Type Tee Connector PY6D the Right Part?
One step down is PY4 and one step up is PY8; stepping changes the bore of all three legs at once, so the whole branch circuit has to be planned around a single tube OD - a PY cannot mix sizes on its own legs, that job belongs to the different-diameter shapes like PYW or PZG. Match the Y size to the tube you already run, never to a nominal pipe name: a Dia 6 mm chuck will not grip 1/4 in tube, which measures about 6.35 mm and simply will not seal.
Choose a union Y instead of a union tee when the branch runs at an angle rather than a square corner - the swept body is kinder to tube bend radius on the two diverging legs. Only soft nylon or polyurethane tube belongs in the chuck; rigid nylon 12 semifinished bar or braided hose will not seat on the spring gasket.
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 PY6D FAQ
Dia 6 mm tube on all three legs, resin one-touch union Y, black body. Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Applicable tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane only.
No. On the PY series the D suffix changes the body from AirTAC grey to black while every pressure, vacuum, proof and temperature figure stays exactly the same as the grey part. It is a cosmetic and identification choice - handy when a machine builder standardises on black pneumatics for panel tidiness or customer spec, with zero engineering penalty either way.
