48D100 - Walter Y-Connector Barb Fitting for Fluid Systems

Precision Fluid Management with Walter Y-Barb Fittings

The Walter 48D100 "Y" Barb Tube Fitting is an essential component designed for the precise management and distribution of fluids within industrial maintenance systems. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this fitting features a classic Y-configuration, which is hydrodynamically superior to standard T-fittings for splitting flow. The angled divergence allows fluids to separate with less turbulence and pressure drop, ensuring that downstream components receive a consistent supply of cleaning solution or electrolyte.

Constructed from high-grade, chemical-resistant polymers, this fitting is specifically formulated to withstand the aggressive nature of industrial solvents, degreasers, and surfactants often used in parts washing and surface preparation equipment. Unlike generic nylon fittings that may degrade, swell, or crack when exposed to specialized industrial chemistries over time, the 48D100 maintains its structural integrity, preventing leaks that could compromise workplace safety or environmental compliance.

The barbed connection points are precision-molded to provide a tight, positive grip on flexible tubing. When paired with the appropriate tubing diameter, the sharp barbs bite into the inner wall of the hose, creating a seal that resists pull-out forces and vibration. While the fitting is designed for low-pressure fluid transfer typical of parts washer pumps and flow-through brush systems, the secure barb design minimizes the risk of accidental disconnection during operation.

Integration of OEM parts like the 48D100 is critical for maintaining the warranty and performance standards of Walter equipment. Whether used in the Bio-Circle system or other fluid-based surface technology setups, this fitting ensures that the internal plumbing remains robust and reliable. Maintenance personnel can rely on this component for quick repairs or system modifications, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum operational efficiency in the workshop.
