Small steps

fbhjrOne of my first assignments at the place I’m working was to come up with a better way to make a tube take a U turn then paying to have a small metal pipe made.
I found a Y connector the right size and blocked the end of the Y to make it an effective U.
The parts came in today and seemed to work well:
I’m not sure how little room I had for this was clear, so I took the picture again with something to scale it with.
Hopefully this will make the product better.

It looks like it would be used with Tygon tubing?

Lots of cool mechanical tricks as it just has to go where you tell it and you can't check on it while it does.
Sadly, I'm not allowed to share.

Just teasing, good luck - it is amazingly small scale, thanks for the size comparison.
