This three-port connector joins vacuum hoses at a Y junction, allowing a single vacuum source to supply two branches or combining two lines into one. All three ports measure 1\/4 inch, making it a uniform-branch fitting suited for engine vacuum systems, emissions controls, and climate control vacuum circuits. The nylon construction resists fuel vapors, moisture, and moderate heat typical of underhood environments. Automotive technicians and mechanical installers working on vacuum-routed systems will find this a straightforward replacement or repair fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in automotive and light-duty vehicle vacuum systems where a single line must be split or two lines must be merged at a common junction. Typical applications include vacuum-operated HVAC controls, EGR valve circuits, brake booster secondary circuits, and emissions-related vacuum distribution. The uniform 1\/4-inch port sizing across all three legs simplifies hose selection and reduces inventory when multiple fittings of the same port size are needed across a repair job. Sold in a package of 10 units, making it practical for shops performing multiple repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eY-configuration with three equal 1\/4-inch ports for uniform vacuum line splitting or merging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon construction provides resistance to fuel vapors, oils, and underhood moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact form factor fits into tight engine bay routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in quantities of 10 per package, suited for shop stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose automotive vacuum connector for vehicles using 1\/4-inch vacuum hose lines.

Before replacing any vacuum fitting, allow the engine to cool and depressurize any stored vacuum in the system. Hose barbs should be fully seated before securing with any retaining clips. Inspect all connected hoses for cracks or hardening before reuse, as a faulty hose will compromise the repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Y Vacuum Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 x 1\/4 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BD285\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52117646246194,"sku":"BD285","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5956d1fac763a681bea00d54e599a3bd.jpg?v=1790081674","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/au-ve-co-products-bd285-nylon-y-vacuum-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
