Pneumatic Unequal Union Tee

An unequal union tee pneumatic fitting is a component used in pneumatic systems to connect three different tubes or hoses of varying diameters in a T-shaped configuration. Unlike a standard union tee fitting where all three ports have the same diameter, an unequal union tee has one port larger than the other two.

Here are the main characteristics and description of an unequal union tee pneumatic fitting:

1. Design: The fitting is shaped like the letter “T,” with three ports or openings for connecting pneumatic tubes or hoses. In this case, one port (usually the main inlet) is larger than the other two ports (outlets). This allows for connecting tubes or hoses of different sizes to a common point.
2. Material: Similar to other pneumatic fittings, unequal union tee fittings are manufactured from materials such as brass, stainless steel, plastic, or other suitable materials compatible with pneumatic applications.
3. Connectivity: These fittings often use various connection types, including push-to-connect, barbed, or threaded connections, depending on the specific design and intended application.
4. Sizes: Available in different sizes to accommodate various tube or hose diameters, with one larger port and two smaller ports.
5. Applications: Used in pneumatic systems where there is a need to merge or split airflow between tubes or hoses of different sizes. These fittings are commonly used in industrial machinery, automation systems, air supply lines, and pneumatic control systems.
6. Function: The unequal union tee fitting allows for the combination or branching of pneumatic lines of different sizes at a single point, facilitating the flow of compressed air or gas to multiple directions with varying tubing diameters.

When acquiring unequal union tee pneumatic fittings, it’s essential to specify the sizes of the ports (diameters), the connection types, material specifications, and any particular pressure or temperature requirements relevant to your pneumatic system.

Always ensure compatibility between the fitting and the tubes or hoses being connected, considering factors such as pressure ratings, temperature tolerances, and material compatibility to ensure a proper and secure connection within your pneumatic setup.
