1/4" Push-to-Connect Y Splitter Vacuum / Boost Fitting
The JBtuned 1/4" Push-to-Connect Y Splitter provides three 1/4-inch push-to-connect interfaces for branching an existing vacuum or boost-reference line.
Unlike the JBtuned threaded tee, the Y splitter does not use an NPT or AN connection. All three connections are part of the 1/4" push-to-connect line system.

Split an Existing 1/4" Push-to-Connect Line
The Y splitter is designed to be installed within the push-to-connect plumbing itself.
It can be used when an existing 1/4" reference line needs to divide into two separate 1/4" branches without adding another threaded adapter at the component.
Y Splitter vs. Threaded Tee
The correct part depends on where you want the branch to occur.
Choose the Y splitter when you already have a 1/4" push-to-connect line and want to branch that line farther along its routing.
If you instead have a 1/8" NPT female port and want two push-to-connect branches to start directly at that threaded port, use the 1/8" NPT Male to Dual 1/4" Push-to-Connect Tee.
Vacuum & Boost-Reference Plumbing
Y splitters can be useful when laying out compact reference-line systems for turbocharged and performance vehicles.
However, the ability to physically split a pressure-reference line does not mean that every pair of devices should share the same signal source.
Follow the plumbing requirements of the wastegate, blow-off valve, boost controller, gauge, regulator or other component being connected.
No Threaded Connection
This fitting does not thread directly into a component. All three connections are 1/4" push-to-connect interfaces.
If you need to transition from a threaded port into the push-to-connect system first, choose the appropriate -4AN or 1/8" NPT JBtuned adapter for that port.
Questions About Your Reference-Line Layout?
If you are unsure whether you need a Y splitter, threaded tee, straight adapter or 90° adapter, start by identifying the port on the component and the location where you want the line to branch.
