Oase Y Piece Extension Set 2″

Oase Y Piece Extension Set – 2″

Genuine Conversion Kit for Connecting an Oase Y Piece to 2″ Flexible Pond Hose

The Oase Y Piece Extension Set – 2″ is a genuine Oase accessory designed to convert the connections on a compatible Oase Y Piece with taps, also described as the Oase Y Distributor with valves, into practical 2-inch flexible pond-hose connections. It provides the fittings required to integrate the Y Piece into a larger pond circulation, filtration, pump, waterfall, or water-feature system that uses 2″ flexible hose.

A Y Piece is commonly used to divide one water supply into two separate routes. This allows the flow from a compatible pond pump or pipework line to be directed towards two different pieces of equipment, two return points, or two water features. However, the original threaded connections may not connect directly to the flexible hose used elsewhere in the installation. The Oase Y Piece Extension Set provides the conversion components needed to create compatible 2″ hose connections at the inlet and outlets.

The kit converts all three main connection points on the compatible Y Piece: the single inlet through which water enters and the two controlled outlets through which the flow is divided. Once the extension components are installed, compatible 2″ flexible hose can be connected to the inlet and to both outlet branches, helping create a consistent hose size throughout the water-distribution arrangement.

This is particularly useful for pond systems in which a pump supplies more than one destination. One outlet could be used to direct water towards a pond filter, while the second supplies a waterfall, fountain, return jet, stream, or another compatible component. The taps or valves on the Y Piece can then be used to manage the two separate water routes according to the design of the system.

The extension set helps remove the need to assemble a conversion from several unrelated fittings. Instead, it provides a matched collection of Oase components intended to work with the compatible Y Piece. This can make the finished connection neater, easier to understand, and more convenient to maintain.

Flexible pond hose is often selected where rigid pipework would be difficult to route. It can be guided around filter housings, walls, landscaping, pond edges, pump chambers, and other equipment. By converting the Y Piece to 2″ hose connections, the extension set allows the distributor to be incorporated more easily into these flexible-hose installations.

The 2″ connection size is suitable for systems already using compatible 2″ pond hose. Maintaining a consistent hose diameter can help reduce the need for additional reducers and unnecessary changes in the pipework. The final water flow will still depend on the connected pump, hose length, height, valves, bends, filters, and other equipment in the system.

The kit includes three 2″ hosetail sets, providing hose connections for the inlet and both outlets. It also includes two female 1½″ to male 2″ BSP threaded adaptors, which form part of the conversion required for the compatible Y distributor.

The stepped or shaped hosetails provide defined connection points for suitable flexible hose. Once the hose has been pushed securely onto the fitting, an appropriately sized hose clip should be used where required to hold the connection in place. The hose should fit firmly without excessive stretching or deformation.

The extension set is suitable for new pond installations as well as modifications to an existing water system. It may be used when upgrading the pipework to 2″ hose, replacing missing conversion fittings, adding an Oase Y Piece to a circulation system, or reorganising the water routes between a pump and connected equipment.

It is also useful when pond equipment is repositioned. Moving a filter, waterfall return, UVC, or pump may require the distribution point to be placed in a different location. Flexible hose and the correct conversion fittings can make the revised layout easier to achieve without constructing a completely new rigid-pipe system.

Because the product is an extension set, the compatible Oase Y Piece with taps is required separately unless already owned. The kit is intended to adapt that existing component; it is not described as including the complete Y Piece or valves.

Whether used to divide pump flow between a filter and waterfall, supply two pond-return routes, or integrate an Oase Y Distributor into a 2″ flexible-hose system, the Oase Y Piece Extension Set offers a straightforward and organised conversion solution.

Kit Contents

The extension set includes:

• 3 × 2″ hosetail sets
• 2 × female 1½″ to male 2″ BSP threaded adaptors

These components are used to convert the compatible Y Piece inlet and outlet connections for use with 2″ flexible pond hose.

What the Kit Does

The extension set allows a compatible Oase Y Piece to be used within a 2″ flexible-hose system by adapting:

• The main water inlet
• The first controlled outlet
• The second controlled outlet

This creates three suitable hose-connection points, allowing one incoming water line to be divided into two outgoing lines.

When to Use

Use the Oase Y Piece Extension Set when:

• Connecting an Oase Y Piece to 2″ flexible pond hose
• Dividing pump flow between two water routes
• Sending water to a filter and a waterfall
• Supplying two separate pond-return points
• Connecting two compatible pieces of pond equipment
• Upgrading existing pipework to 2″ hose
• Replacing missing Y Piece conversion fittings
• Installing a Y distributor inside a filter house
• Reorganising a pond circulation system
• Reducing the number of separate reducers and adaptors
• Creating an accessible water-distribution point
• Extending an existing Oase pond installation

Example Applications

Filter and Waterfall Supply

One outlet can direct water towards a compatible pond filter while the second supplies a waterfall or stream.

Two Pond Returns

The incoming pump flow can be divided between two return points positioned in different areas of the pond.

Filter and UVC Arrangement

Where compatible with the wider system, separate branches may be used to route water towards different filtration or clarification components.

Water-Feature Distribution

The Y Piece may be used to divide water between two compatible fountains, cascades, or decorative water features.

Seasonal Flow Adjustment

One water route may be reduced or closed when a waterfall or feature is not required, subject to the requirements of the pump and complete circulation system.

How It Works

The threaded conversion adaptors and hosetail sets are installed onto the corresponding connection points of the compatible Oase Y Piece.

The extension components convert the inlet and both outlets into connections suitable for compatible 2″ flexible hose.

The incoming hose carries water from the pond pump or another suitable water source into the Y Piece. Inside the distributor, the water route divides between the two outlets.

The Y Piece taps or valves can then be used to regulate the amount of water passing through each outlet branch.

Each outlet hose carries water towards its connected filter, return, waterfall, fountain, stream, or other compatible pond component.

The exact flow through each branch depends on the pump output, valve position, hose length, lift height, equipment resistance, and the complete system layout.

Installation Guidance

1. Switch off and electrically isolate the pond pump.
2. Confirm that the existing component is the compatible Oase Y Piece with taps.
3. Check that the extension set carries part number 95492.
4. Plan the incoming and outgoing hose routes.
5. Confirm that compatible 2″ flexible hose is being used.
6. Inspect all threads and sealing surfaces for dirt or damage.
7. Fit the required threaded adaptors to the Y Piece.
8. Attach the three 2″ hosetail sets.
9. Avoid cross-threading the adaptors during assembly.
10. Tighten each component evenly without excessive force.
11. Place suitable hose clips over the flexible hose where required.
12. Push each hose fully onto its hosetail.
13. Position and tighten the clips evenly.
14. Support long or heavy hose runs.
15. Check that the taps or valves remain accessible.
16. Restore the water flow and inspect every connection for leakage.
17. Adjust the two outlet controls gradually to achieve the required distribution.

Always follow the instructions supplied with the Oase Y Piece, pump, and connected pond equipment.

Installation Tips

Plan Both Outlet Routes First

Decide where each outlet will lead before assembling the Y Piece. This helps prevent twisted hoses, tight bends, or inaccessible valves.

Keep Hose Runs Direct

Long hose routes, tight bends, and unnecessary loops can create additional resistance. Use the most direct practical route between components.

Support the Hose

Do not allow long, water-filled hose sections to hang entirely from the Y Piece. Supporting the hose helps reduce strain on the adaptors and hosetails.

Keep the Valves Accessible

Position the Y Piece where both taps can be reached for adjustment, servicing, and seasonal changes.

Balance the Flow Gradually

Open and adjust the outlets slowly while the pump is operating. Closing one outlet may increase flow through the other, depending on the system.

Avoid Running the Pump Against Closed Outlets

The operating requirements vary by pump and system. Do not close both outlets unless the pump manufacturer specifically allows that arrangement.

Check the Hose Diameter

Confirm that the hose is genuinely compatible with the 2″ connections. Hose dimensions and flexibility may vary between manufacturers.

Benefits of a Y Piece Distribution System

A compatible Y Piece with the 2″ extension set can help:

• Divide one pump supply between two water routes
• Reduce the need for a second pump in suitable installations
• Provide individual control over two outlet branches
• Create a central and organised distribution point
• Connect filters, waterfalls, returns, or other equipment
• Simplify seasonal adjustments
• Improve access to flow controls
• Reduce complicated pipework arrangements
• Maintain a consistent 2″ flexible-hose system

The extension set does not increase the pump’s output. The available flow is divided between the connected branches.
