Midland Industries 34826 Beverage Y-tee 1/4 in Hose Barb Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 34826 is a 304 stainless steel beverage Y-tee fitting designed for low-pressure fluid distribution in food-service and beverage dispensing lines. It splits a single 1/4-inch hose barb inlet into two 1/4-inch hose barb outlets, allowing one source line to feed two downstream runs simultaneously. All three connections are 1/4-inch hose barb, making for a uniform, no-tools-required hose attachment when used with appropriately sized tubing. The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, washdown, and food-contact environments. Rated to 150 psi, this fitting handles typical beverage system operating pressures without issue. Plumbers and food-service technicians are the primary installers.

This Y-tee is intended for use in beverage dispensing systems, draft beer lines, post-mix soda systems, and similar low-pressure fluid distribution applications where sanitary materials are required. The 1/4-inch hose barb configuration is common in commercial fountain and draft equipment. The compact profile, measuring 2.3 inches in length and 1.25 inches in width, allows installation in tight equipment bays and under-counter installations where space is limited.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in food-service and beverage environments
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for standard beverage dispensing line pressures
• Three 1/4-inch hose barb connections - one inlet, two outlets - for a single-to-dual line split
• Compact dimensions of 2.3 inches length and 1.25 inches width for tight-space installations
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds, minimizing stress on attached tubing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for beverage dispensing systems using 1/4-inch inside-diameter hose barb tubing connections in food-service equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a plumber or qualified food-service equipment technician. Relieve all line pressure and drain the system before removing or installing any fittings. Barbed fittings should be secured with appropriately rated clamps to prevent line separation under pressure. Verify that the tubing inside diameter is matched to the 1/4-inch barb to ensure a leak-free seal.
