Overview

Tanks Inc. Y-Fittings

Tanks Inc. Y-fittings are components that split or combine fuel lines for custom fuel systems in vehicles. A common use is to connect the vent from the fuel tank with the vent from the fuel pump assembly using a single "Y" fitting, ensuring both vents are plumbed together and can be routed to a single rollover vent valve. The fittings are available in different sizes and materials, such as hard nylon or billet aluminum. Many versions feature hose barb connection points for easy attachment.

Function and purpose:

* Splitting or combining flow: Y-fittings are designed to take a single line and split it into two, or vice versa, allowing for efficient plumbing
* Fuel system venting: Tanks Inc. specifically designs some Y-fittings to simplify the process of connecting a fuel tank's vent to the fuel pump's vent line
* Ensuring safety: By combining the two vent lines, they can be routed to a single safety component like a rollover vent valve, which closes off in the event of a rollover to prevent fuel spillage
* Unrestricted flow: The "Y" design provides a more direct, unrestricted flow path compared to a tee fitting, which is beneficial for high-performance applications
