Y-Type Tees
CYprocess Y-type tees — also called Y-branches or lateral tees — join two line branches at a shallow angle, so merging product meets the main stream instead of a wall. The same piece doubles as an inspection and clean-out point.

Overview
About Y-Type Tees
How this equipment works in powder handling lines and what to consider when selecting it.
Working principle
Where a sharp tee throws the branch stream into the opposite wall, a Y keeps the branch angle shallow so product enters along the main flow. That means less degradation, less wear at the junction and a smoother pressure profile than a right-angle tee.
Options and integration
Branch angles and sizes are made to the line, with blanked legs for inspection duty or capped clean-outs at low points. Stainless and gasketed builds suit food and chemical lines, and Y-pieces combine with diverters and elbows to build gentle multi-branch routes.

Y-Type Tees FAQ
Common questions about selection, integration and quotation.
A Y-tee merges two flows that run together; a diverter switches one line between destinations. If two sources feed one receiver continuously, a Y is the simpler, wear-friendlier answer; if flows must be isolated from each other, the diverter is required.
