Product Information
Full details
This solid brass T Y hose joiner is ideal for anyone needing to create a secure, branching connection for fuel or gas hoses. Its primary benefit is the durable brass construction, ensuring resistance to corrosion and a reliable seal. A key consideration is that this joiner is designed specifically for hoses with specific inner diameters and is not suitable for general-purpose connectors.

FAQs
What types of hoses is this joiner compatible with?
This joiner is designed for flexible fuel or gas hoses with inner diameters matching the specified sizes (6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 19mm). Always verify that the hose material is compatible with the substance being conveyed.
Does this joiner come with hose clamps?
No, this product is the brass T Y joiner only. You will need to provide appropriate hose clamps separately to secure the hoses.
Can I use this joiner for water lines?
While brass is generally suitable for water, this joiner is specifically designed and recommended for fuel or gas lines. For water applications, ensure compatibility with the specific water type and pressure.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure the inner diameter of the hose you intend to use. The joiner's size (e.g., 6mm, 8mm) refers to the inner diameter it is designed to connect.
Is the brown colour a coating or the material itself?
The brown colour is characteristic of the solid brass material, especially after some oxidation, and is not a surface coating.
What is the maximum pressure this joiner can handle?
The product information does not specify a maximum pressure rating. It is intended for typical fuel or gas line applications. Always ensure your system's pressure is within safe limits for the hoses and connectors used.
Troubleshooting
Hose won't fit onto the joiner.
Ensure you are using the correct size joiner for your hose's inner diameter. The hose might be too rigid; try warming it slightly (if appropriate for the hose material) or using a lubricant (suitable for the fluid being transported) to ease insertion.
Leak at the connection point.
Check that the hose is fully seated on the joiner. Ensure the hose clamp is the correct size for the hose and joiner, and that it is tightened securely and evenly. Inspect the hose for damage or cracking at the connection point.
Corrosion on the brass joiner.
Minor discoloration is normal for brass. For significant corrosion, clean gently with a brass cleaner and re-evaluate the environment. Ensure the fluid being transported is compatible with brass.
