    Uses of Y connectors

    Y-type branching connectors are used to direct purified water to multiple destinations from an already existing system. The most common uses are:

    • Supplying a side-by-side refrigerator with purified water from an existing system.
    • Supplying a water dispenser from a purifier.
    • Tapping purified, non-mineralized water before the mineralization cartridge.
    • Adding a pressure pump to an existing system.
    • Branching and adding an additional storage tank.
    • Supplying other equipment, such as a coffee machine or an ice maker.
    • Connecting another water tap, in addition to the main one.

    How to choose the right Y connector

    To correctly choose the Y connector you need, keep in mind the following criteria:

    • Tubing size – check whether your tubing is 1/4″ (6 mm), 5/16″ (8 mm) or 3/8″ (9 mm) and choose the compatible connector.
    • End compatibility – there are variants with all ends of the same size, but also combined variants, for example 3/8″ with 1/4″.
    • Purpose of the branching – determine which equipment you are directing the water flow to, in order to choose the right configuration.
