Extended Product Information

FAQs

How do I disconnect a pipe from the Y divider?

To disconnect, push the collet firmly inwards towards the body of the fitting while simultaneously pulling the pipe outwards. A disconnect grip tool can be helpful if the connection is tight.

Can I use this with water lines?

While John Guest Speedfit fittings are commonly used for both air and water, this specific product description focuses on air piping systems. For critical water applications, always refer to the manufacturer's specific recommendations for intended use.

What is the maximum pressure rating for these dividers?

The product information does not specify a maximum pressure rating. For detailed specifications, consult the official John Guest technical documentation for their Speedfit range.

Are these fittings suitable for outdoor use?

The fittings are made of tough engineered plastic, which generally offers good resistance to environmental factors. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures may affect longevity. Assess suitability based on specific environmental conditions.

Can I use these with different brands of 12mm tubing?

The fittings are designed for compatibility with John Guest tubing and specified soft metal pipes. While some other 12mm tubing might appear to fit, performance and seal integrity cannot be guaranteed. It is recommended to use compatible tubing for optimal results.

How many dividers are in a pack?

This product is sold as a pack of 2 (two) Y dividers.

Troubleshooting

Fitting will not connect to pipe

Ensure the pipe is cut square and free of burrs. Verify the pipe diameter is 12mm and that it is compatible with John Guest fittings. Check for any debris inside the fitting's entry point.

Leak detected at connection point

Disconnect and reconnect the pipe, ensuring it is pushed in fully. Inspect the pipe end for damage or deformation. The pipe may be slightly out of round; try rotating the pipe slightly before reinserting.

Pipe is difficult to remove

Ensure the collet is fully released by pushing it inwards towards the fitting body while pulling the pipe. If difficult, a John Guest disconnect grip tool can assist.

Reduced air flow

Verify the pipe is fully inserted and the collet is not obstructing the flow path. Check for any kinks or blockages in the connected tubing or downstream equipment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional methods.
  • Eliminates the need for specialized tools or consumables like sealant.
  • Provides a secure and reliable connection that maintains full flow.

Cons

  • Pack size is fixed at two; larger quantities require multiple purchases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pipe end is cut square and clean. Remove any burrs.
  2. Push the pipe firmly into the Y divider fitting until it is fully inserted.
  3. The unique collet mechanism will automatically lock onto the pipe, creating an airtight seal.

  • Size: Designed for 12mm diameter pipe.

Care:
