The AirTAC Airtac PYB Y-Type Threaded Tee Fitting PYB1003-S is a genuine branch y for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
AirTAC calls this prefix the branch Y: a male-threaded tee in a Y shape that takes one supply and forks it into two equal tube legs, all from a single 3/8 in PT male port. Both legs take Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it under spring load; press the release ring and the tube frees again, so branch changes take seconds without tools.
This is the resin one-touch line: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum capability, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -20 to +70 C service. The -S suffix changes the fastening hardware, not the ratings: the threaded stud is SUS304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in wash-down and damp plant air, while the body stays PBT and every dimension matches the standard PYB1003 exactly. The male thread arrives with sealant pre-applied, so no extra tape or dope is needed at the port.

POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring; body brass or PBT depending on the part. Stainless (-S): SUS304 in place of brass - a solid SUS304 body on the PC and POC straight connectors, and a PBT body with a SUS304 stud on the elbow, tee and branch shapes. Working pressure, proof pressure and temperature are unchanged from the standard version. AirTAC publishes flow as a characteristic curve rather than a single figure, so no L/min value is listed.

Fork one 3/8 in PT drop into two Dia 10 legs agitating rinse tanks in a plating shop, where the SUS304 stud resists the humid, mildly corrosive atmosphere around the bath.
A single manifold outlet feeding a pair of Dia 10 suction or clamp cylinders on a carton-packing conveyor, with the Y keeping both legs the same length for balanced response.
Splitting the supply to two spray legs in a wash-down bay, where the stainless stud survives constant water splash that would pit a plain brass thread over time.
At the 3/8 in thread position, PYB runs from Dia 6 up to Dia 12, so this SKU sits one step from the top: step down to PYB803 for lighter twin-leg circuits or up to PYB1203 when both legs feed larger actuators. If the port is only 1/4 in PT, the same Dia 10 Y exists as PYB1002. Note the interface table also allows Dia 10 on PYB at M5 and 1/4 in, but not every prefix does, so always check the row for the shape you want.
Match the tube OD exactly: this fitting grips 10 mm tube only. A 3/8 in hose measures about 9.5 mm and will slide in without sealing - the half-millimetre gap stops the chuck from biting. If one leg must feed a smaller device, add a PG reducer union on that leg rather than forcing a mismatched tube.
Quick checklist
It is a resin-line branch Y with a Dia 10 mm tube bore on both legs and a 3/8 in PT male thread. Working pressure is 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), it holds -750 mmHg (10 Torr) in vacuum service, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix fits a SUS304 stud; pressure, temperature and dimensions are identical to the standard PYB1003.
No. The chuck seats only on 10 mm OD tubing; 3/8 in hose at roughly 9.5 mm is loose and 8 mm tube is far too small, so neither will seal. Use PYB803 for 8 mm legs or add a PG8-10 style reducer union on the leg that changes size.
