Au-ve-co Products BD100 Nylon Vacuum Tee Fitting

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS BD100 is a nylon vacuum tee fitting designed for automotive vacuum line applications. This three-port tee connector measures 1/4 x 1/4 x 3/16 inches and is molded from nylon for lightweight durability and resistance to fuel vapors and engine-bay temperatures. It is used to split or branch vacuum circuits in engine management, emissions, and HVAC systems found in passenger vehicles and light trucks. HVAC technicians, automotive service techs, and fleet maintenance professionals install this fitting as part of vacuum line repair or system modification work.

This fitting is suited for low-pressure vacuum circuits in automotive underhood environments. Typical applications include branching intake manifold vacuum to actuators, EGR valves, brake boosters, HVAC blend door actuators, and emissions control components. The asymmetric port sizing - two 1/4-inch ports and one 3/16-inch port - allows connection of lines of differing diameters without reducers. Sold in packages of 25, this part is a practical shop-stock item for service bays that regularly perform vacuum line repairs.

• Fits standard push-on vacuum hose without clamps

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or repair fitting for automotive vacuum circuits using 1/4-inch and 3/16-inch vacuum hose. Suitable for use in engine management, emissions, and HVAC vacuum systems on passenger vehicles and light trucks where nylon barbed tee fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by automotive and HVAC service technicians. Before replacing a vacuum tee, relieve any system vacuum and confirm the engine is off and cooled. Push-on barbed connections should seat fully to prevent vacuum leaks - inspect hose ends for cracks or hardening before reuse. Follow OEM service documentation for vacuum circuit routing and hose retention requirements.
