The AirTAC Airtac PYB Y-Type Threaded Tee Fitting PYB1204D-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.
The PYB1204D-S is an AirTAC PYB branch Y one-touch fitting in the black D finish, sized for Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing with a 1/2 in PT male thread. Where a tee puts both branches at 90 degrees, this Y splits the flow at an included angle, so each tube leg leaves the body with less sharp bending than a hard right-angle branch. To connect, push the tube fully home: the chuck grips the tube wall and the stainless spring gasket seals on the OD, and pressing the release ring lets the tube back out.
This is the resin one-touch profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a service range of -20 to +70 C. The -S suffix swaps the usual brass stud for SUS304, so the threaded joint suits humid or wash-prone air circuits, while the PBT body, POM release button and NBR O-ring keep every published rating identical to the standard part.

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.

Tap one 1/2 in PT manifold port on a carton-sealing machine and branch it to two Dia 12 lines serving the clamp and pusher cylinders, replacing a tee plus nipple with a single push-fit body.
The SUS304 stud holds up where humid, chemically-laden air quickly dulls plain brass threads, keeping the branch joint sound on rinse and drying stations fed from a central Dia 12 line.
Branch the outlet of a 1/2 in PT solenoid valve on a stenter frame into two Dia 12 legs feeding the fabric-edge grippers on both sides, with the Y angle easing the tube routing.
PYB1204D-S sits at the top of the 1/2 in PYB ladder: Dia 12 is the largest tube this thread accepts, so there is nothing above it - if your actuator is underserved, the fix is a shorter or larger-bore run elsewhere, not a bigger PYB. The step down is Dia 10 (PYB1004D-S), which drops the bore area the branch must feed and suits lighter-acting grippers. On the thread side, the neighbour below is 3/8 in (PYB1203D-S); both 3/8 and 1/2 in take Dia 12 tube, so match the thread to the drilled port, not to the tubing.
Tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 12 fitting will not seal on 12.7 mm (1/2 in) imperial hose or on Dia 10 tube. If you need a straight pass-through, a 90-degree drop or a reduction, the PU, PL or PKG shapes are the right answers instead of this Y.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting takes Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on a 1/2 in PT male thread. The stud is SUS304; the body is PBT with a POM release button and NBR O-ring. Tubing outside Dia 12 - including 12.7 mm imperial hose - will not clamp.
No. The SUS304 stud replaces the brass stud for corrosion resistance, but every published figure stays the same as the standard PYB: 0-1.0 MPa working, 1.5 MPa proof, -20 to +70 C. AirTAC also publishes no separate stainless dimension table, so the PYB1204D-S occupies the same envelope as the grey standard part. Note too that on this series the D suffix colours the body as well as the button, unlike the PC connectors where only the button changes.
