Which fitting is used to connect two circuits to a single supply?

• A. Reducer
• B. Quick-Connect
• C. Bushing
• D. Tee

Answer: (D)

When you want to feed two separate circuits from one hydraulic supply, you need a fitting that creates a junction and allows the flow to split into two paths. A tee fitting is designed for that purpose, with three ports arranged in a T shape. It lets the flow from the single source enter and then branch off into two circuits, or it can combine two circuits into one supply. In contrast, a reducer changes the size of a single line, not create a branch; a quick-connect is for rapid mating of lines but doesn’t inherently provide a branching point; and a bushing adapts sizes or threads but does not produce a branch to two circuits.
