Product Description

This Thogus hose fitting is made of white nylon and connects three lengths of hose in a wye branch. Wye fittings (also known as Y connectors) have angled inlets to reduce friction and turbulence, and are commonly used in gravity-drawn applications such as drainage. Barbed fittings create a tight seal on flexible and semi-rigid hose when used with a crimp sleeve or ferrule (both sold separately). Nylon is used for strength, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion, crushing, and cracking. The fitting meets standards set by NSF International Consumer Products Division for health and safety, and complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) international directives for hazardous materials. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Thogus manufactures injection molded plastic tube and hose fittings. The company, founded in 1950 and headquartered in Avon Lake, OH, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001:2008.
