UPVC Y-Type G1/2" Male Three-Way Sampling & Gauge Connectors

Streamline your plumbing layout and create highly efficient monitoring hubs with our premium UPVC Y-type three-way connectors, available at Atradesen.com. Crafted from industrial-grade, non-plasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC), these compact branching manifolds offer excellent chemical resistance, rigid body structure, and anti-corrosive performance in high-purity water treatment networks, municipal pipelines, and RO filtration systems.

With a standard G1/2" male base and two diverging branch connections, these Y-shape fittings allow you to split flows with minimal turbulence, making them widely used for connecting analytical equipment in narrow spaces.

Space-Saving Sampling & Instrumentation Manifolds

In water treatment systems, measuring pressure and extracting water samples are critical, high-frequency operations. Setting up standard bulky tees and inline bushings takes up valuable cabinet space and increases the number of threaded joints prone to leakage. Our Y-type 3-way connector solves this space constraint: the standard G1/2" male base threads directly into your main pipe run, allowing you to simultaneously mount a pressure gauge on one branch and an outlet sampling needle valve on the other.

Three Branch Socket & Thread Configurations

Select the optimal branching socket configuration for your monitoring instruments and pipeline layout:

• Dual 20mm Slip Socket (Left Model): G1/2" male base to dual 20mm inner diameter slip ports, designed for seamless solvent welding onto standard 20mm outer diameter (OD) UPVC pipes.
• Dual G1/4" Female Thread (Center Model): G1/2" male base to dual G1/4" internal threads (ID approx. 13.5mm). Ideal for direct leak-free connection of standard 1/4-inch pressure gauges, RO quick-connects, or small-bore sampling valves.
• Dual G1/2" Female Thread (Right Model): G1/2" male base to dual G1/2" internal threads (ID approx. 20mm). Standard for 1/2-inch threaded plumbing fixtures and general shut-off devices.

⚠️ Size Selection & Installation Guidelines

Review these operational limits before finalizing your selection:

• Base Fitting Standard: The bottom external male thread is G1/2" parallel plumbing thread (outer diameter approx. 20mm).
• Branch Internal Measurements:
  • 1/4" Female threads measure approximately 13.5mm in inner diameter.
  • 1/2" Female threads and 20mm slip sockets measure approximately 20mm in inner diameter.
• Chemical Safety Note: UPVC is exceptionally resistant to ozone, chlorine, mild acids, and alkalis. Always wrap standard PTFE tape (Teflon tape) clockwise around the male threads to secure a watertight, leak-proof mechanical joint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes UPVC preferred over brass for mounting water treatment gauges?

A: UPVC is completely inert and does not introduce heavy metal ions or suffer from electrochemical corrosion in purified water, ultra-pure water, or mildly acidic chemical lines, protecting both your water purity and instrument thread lifespan.

Q: How do I mount a standard 1/4" pressure gauge onto this Y-type manifold?

A: Select our "G1/2" Male to Dual 1/4" Female" model. Simply wrap the 1/4" male thread of your pressure gauge with PTFE tape and screw it directly into one of the 1/4" female branch ports of the Y-connector.
