FAQ

The Western Enterprises 111-5 features one 1/4" NPT Male inlet and two 1/4" NPT Female outlets.

It is machined from solid brass, providing durability and corrosion resistance.

Yes, brass is generally compatible with oxygen, but ensure the fitting is kept free of oil, grease, and other contaminants before use in oxygen systems.

No, this is a static Y-connector (splitter) and does not contain check valves or shut-off valves.

Yes, NPT threads require a suitable thread sealant like PTFE tape or pipe dope to ensure a leak-free seal.

While specific ratings depend on the application, standard brass NPT fittings are typically suitable for pressures found in regulator outlets and general industrial gas distribution (often up to 3000 PSI depending on wall thickness, but recommended for downstream use).

Yes, it is fully compatible with inert gases such as Argon, Helium, and Nitrogen, as well as CO2.

A Y-connector splits the flow at an angle, which can offer better flow characteristics and less turbulence compared to the 90-degree split of a standard T-fitting.
