English term or phrase: Wye Connectors
Dear colleages,

sorry for posting so many questions at once, but I am currently doing an EN>GER automotive translation (exhaust pipe accessories) which contains some really tricky terms. Any hint
for the German translation of the term is very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Explanation:
Zuerst war ich mit Johanna einverstanden, aber geht es hier um Auslaßrohr und nicht um Stromkreise. Es scheint mir darum, daß andere Übersetzungen vorgeschlagen werden müssen. Mein Wörterbuch Polyglossum II gibt dafür mehrere Möglichkeiten:

Dreischenkelrohr, Dreiwegestück, T-Kopplung, T-Muffe, T-Rohrstück und T-Stück.

Ohne genauen Kontext ist es schwierig eine passende Übersetzung zu wählen.

Hoffe, das kann helfen.
