DIYers, mechanics, and hobbyists working with flexible tubing in air, fuel, and water systems need a Y connector that grips securely, installs without tools, and doesn't crack under normal operating conditions. These plastic Y joiner barb hose connectors are built for exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach pack contains \u003cstrong\u003e2 pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e of Y-shaped 3-way plastic barb connectors.
