Y-Type Oil Return Manifold

The Y-Type Oil Return Manifold by Peterson Fluid is a precision aluminum fitting engineered for high-performance engine and fluid systems that require efficient oil return routing. This compact yet robust component serves as a critical junction point in cooling systems, transmission lines, and supercharger applications where controlled fluid distribution is essential. The manifold's Y-block configuration allows a single inlet to split flow into dual outlets, making it ideal for builders and technicians who need reliable oil management in custom or race engine builds.

Constructed from lightweight yet durable aluminum in natural finish, the Y-Type Oil Return Manifold features a 16 AN male inlet that accepts high-flow input, with dual 12 AN male outlets for balanced dual-circuit return paths. This stepped-down outlet configuration—from 16 AN to dual 12 AN ports—creates intelligent flow distribution while maintaining pressure integrity across both return lines. The natural aluminum construction resists corrosion in typical fluid environments and allows for easy inspection of internal passages, while the AN threaded male connections ensure leak-free JIC-standard fitting compatibility with braided hose and adapters throughout professional hydraulic and cooling systems.

This manifold is most beneficial for engine builders, performance shops, and race teams working with turbocharged, supercharged, or heavily modified engines that demand sophisticated fluid management. Installation requires proper AN fitting tools and hose selection rated for your system's operating pressure and temperature range. The compact 4.85 × 1.7 × 6-inch footprint permits integration into tight engine bays while the minimal 0.26 lb weight adds negligible mass to the overall system, making it suitable for weight-conscious builds where every ounce matters.
