Does the Nickel-Plated Brass Y-Tee, 1x Male BSP / 2x Female BSP, Type A24 require thread sealant or washers for proper installation?

Nickel-Plated Brass Y-Tee, 1x Male BSP / 2x Female BSP, Type A24 requires appropriate sealing elements for proper installation. Use Teflon tape or a thread sealant on the tapered (BSPT) male thread to ensure a leak-free tapered seal. For the cylindrical (BSP) female/internal threads, use aluminum or copper washers where mating components have flat surfaces that compress the washer; cylindrical threads themselves typically seal by metal-to-metal fit, so washers are recommended when specified or when the mating part design requires them.

Can the Nickel-Plated Brass Y-Tee, 1x Male BSP / 2x Female BSP, Type A24 be used in systems above 60 bar or is a pressure regulator required?

Nickel-Plated Brass Y-Tee, 1x Male BSP / 2x Female BSP, Type A24 has a specified working pressure of up to 60 bar. Using it in systems above 60 bar would exceed its rated working pressure and is not recommended. To operate safely above 60 bar you would need a fitting rated for the higher pressure; a pressure regulator on the system side could reduce system pressure to ≤60 bar so the A24 can be used within its rating. Do not rely on sealants or washers to compensate for overpressure—always match fittings to the system’s maximum pressure or install proper pressure-reduction equipment.
