Au-ve-co Products BD945 Five-way Vacuum Connector

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS BD945 is a nylon five-way vacuum connector designed for automotive vacuum circuit applications. It provides a single junction point where one vacuum line splits into four additional ports, all sized at 3/16 inches, allowing technicians to route, tee, or consolidate vacuum lines without fabricating custom fittings. The nylon construction resists moisture and common engine-bay fluids while remaining lightweight. HVAC technicians and automotive service professionals install this connector when servicing vacuum-actuated systems such as climate control door actuators, transmission vacuum modulators, and intake manifold vacuum networks.

This connector is suited for low-pressure vacuum circuit work in passenger vehicles and light trucks. It is commonly used during repairs or retrofits where a vacuum line must branch to multiple components simultaneously. The 3/16-inch port sizing is a standard dimension found throughout domestic and import vehicle vacuum plumbing, making this fitting a practical service-bench staple. It installs by hand using standard vacuum hose and requires no special tooling beyond a hose pick or small flat blade for routing.

Key Features

• Five-way connector routes one inlet to four outlets in a single fitting
• All five ports sized at 3/16 inches for uniform hose compatibility
• Nylon construction resists moisture and common automotive fluids
• Lightweight design at 0.01 pounds adds no measurable load to vacuum plumbing
• No tools required for hose attachment in typical low-pressure vacuum service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for automotive vacuum circuits using 3/16-inch vacuum hose in low-pressure applications.

Installation Notes

Disconnect the vehicle battery and relieve any system vacuum before servicing vacuum lines connected to sensitive actuators or solenoids. Verify all hose ends are fully seated over each port barb and inspect hose condition before reuse. This type of fitting is typically serviced by automotive HVAC technicians or general service technicians. Follow applicable shop safety procedures when working in engine compartments.
