The core feature of the Stainless Steel Five Way Connector without Check Valve manufactured by Joepai Factory is that the valve body itself has five ports: 1" female x 1" female x 1" male x 1/4" female x 1/4" male. It is a purely connecting component with an internal hollow channel and no moving parts, and does not have any control functions such as check valve or regulation. Its sole purpose is to collect or distribute fluids. For a small pump system control unit, the five-way connector acts as a compact integrated mounting platform, bringing together all key monitoring and protection components.
Five-way connector: The core framework of the system, connecting all components into a whole, minimizing pipe joints and reducing the risk of leakage.
Interfaces: 1-inch female port (water inlet), 1-inch male port (water outlet), another 1-inch female port (for connecting a check valve), 1/4-inch female port (for connecting a pressure switch), 1/4-inch male port (for connecting a pressure gauge).
Main passage (inlet and outlet): Connects the pump outlet to the pipe leading to the water point, and is the main flow path of the medium.
1-inch check valve: This is the system's "safety guard." It prevents water backflow when the pump stops, avoiding water hammer shock and reverse rotation of the pump impeller, and is crucial for protecting the pump.
1/4-inch pressure switch: This is the system's "automatic brain." It monitors system pressure, starting the pump when the pressure falls below the set lower limit and stopping the pump when it reaches the upper limit, achieving fully automatic operation.
1/4-inch pressure gauge: This is the system's "status eyes." It provides real-time, intuitive pressure display for debugging, observation, and troubleshooting.
The Joepai's 5 way connector due to the stainless steel material, significantly enhances corrosion resistance, strength, and hygiene levels through the use of stainless steel, thus broadening its application range. It becomes more durable and cleaner. Its core advantages include:
Excellent corrosion resistance: It can withstand corrosion from steam, weak acids and bases, various chemicals, and seawater environments, offering a service life far exceeding that of brass valves.
High strength and durability: It can withstand higher system pressures (commonly PN16/PN25, and up to PN40 or higher) and pressure surges.
Superior hygienic performance: The smooth surface prevents bacterial growth and is easy to clean and disinfect. With mirror polishing or electrolytic polishing treatment, it can meet food-grade or sanitary standards.
Wide temperature range: Suitable for high-temperature steam or low-temperature media.

If your system already has a separate check valve, or if you don't need a check valve function at all and simply require a reliable "manifold," then the 5-Port Connector is the most economical and straightforward option. Its value lies in simplifying piping layouts and reducing the number of separate fittings. Specific scenarios include:
Multi-point Monitoring and Sampling
Scenario: Multiple branches need to be tapped from the main pipeline to install monitoring instruments.
Example: Simultaneously connecting a pressure gauge, a pressure transmitter (sensor), and a safety valve. The five-way connector provides a centralized and stable mounting point for them.
Fluid Distribution and Collection
Scenario: A single fluid stream needs to be evenly distributed to multiple parallel branches, or multiple fluid streams need to be collected into a single stream.
Example: Distributing cooling water from a main cooling water pipe to three independent pieces of equipment requiring cooling; or collecting multiple return water lines into a single main return water pipe.
System Testing, Venting, or Draining
Scenario: Temporary or permanent auxiliary interfaces need to be provided for the system.
Example: Interfaces for system flushing, automatic air vent valve interfaces, or drain valve interfaces.
