Default Ack! I just broke the "y" connector for my oxy concentrators

Where do I get another? It's just a little white plastic thing. Not those fancy metal ones they sell and Frantz of which I have no idea what they are used for.

I'd also like a longer hose (I keep them in another room because I don't like the noise). I haven't done and exhaustive search but the hoses seem to come in pairs. I don't need one for the propane.

you can get the "y's" at lowes, home depot etc. Harbor Freight has the hoses, but as you said, they only come in pairs.

I dont know the size you need but an auto parts store may also help. "Y"'s are sometimes used in cooling systems and windshield washer lines

Home Depot and/or Lowes usually carry a plastic "T" connector for 1/4 ID hose. They may also have larger sizes. Have never seen a "Y" at either store. The "T" and "Y" are functionally the same.

Default T connectors

We buy them at lowes and Menards. They are the 1/4 " plastic and can be found in the plumbing area. I can also send you one if you can't get out. jack

I need a y connector and the part that connects to the torch hose. (I have the pieve tgat comes with each oxy con. I went to ACE with my torch and hose but they got me metal parts and they didn't fit. Anyone know the intended purpose of these parts so I can get them on amazon or have the store order them?

Check with a different Ace, then, because they do carry the parts (that's where I get mine). They're gas fittings. You can also get them at a welding supply shop.

I've seen them at Amazon. You could probably get the oxygen hose there too. The Y connectors used to be $2.99 shipped but now they're up at $4.99

Here's the link to the respiratory supply company, they have the oxygen tubing
