OVERVIEW

Reliable Gas Distribution with Western Enterprises WES111-5

The Western Enterprises WES111-5 is a precision-engineered Y-connector designed to facilitate the efficient distribution of gases and fluids in industrial environments. Manufactured from high-quality brass, this fitting is built to withstand the rigors of daily use in welding shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance operations. The brass material not only provides excellent structural integrity but also offers superior resistance to corrosion and oxidation, ensuring a long service life even in challenging conditions.

This fitting features a standard 1/4-inch NPT Male inlet and splits the flow into two 1/4-inch NPT Female outlets. This configuration is particularly useful for creating branch lines from a single supply source, allowing operators to run multiple tools or processes simultaneously. With a maximum pressure rating of 200 PSI, the WES111-5 is capable of handling a wide range of compressed gases and pneumatic applications safely. The National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads are machined to tight tolerances, ensuring a secure engagement that, when used with proper thread sealant, provides a leak-free seal essential for maintaining system pressure and safety.

Whether used for inert gas shielding distribution in TIG/MIG welding setups or for splitting compressed air lines for pneumatic tools, this Y-connector delivers consistent performance. Its compact design allows for installation in tight spaces where bulky manifolds might not fit. By utilizing a Y-shape rather than a T-shape, the fitting helps to streamline flow and reduce turbulence at the junction, promoting better flow characteristics for downstream equipment.

FAQ

The WES111-5 is rated for a maximum pressure of 200 PSI.

It is manufactured from solid brass for durability and corrosion resistance.

It features one 1/4" NPT Male connection and two 1/4" NPT Female connections.

Brass is generally compatible with oxygen, but you must ensure the fitting is cleaned for oxygen service before use to prevent combustion hazards. Always check local safety regulations.

Yes, as long as the pressure does not exceed 200 PSI and the water does not contain chemicals that corrode brass.

Yes, NPT threads are tapered and require Teflon tape or a suitable pipe thread sealant to ensure a leak-proof seal.

Yes, it can function as a combiner or a splitter, depending on the direction of flow in your system.

Yes, like many brass products, it carries a Prop 65 warning regarding lead exposure.
