Yale AYS base adaptors mount onto the bottom of YS cylinders via two hexagon socket screws to provide the mounting interface for extension tubes. Three sizes match the smaller YS cylinder family: AYS-53 (5 t, fits YS-5 series), AYS-103 (10 t, fits YS-10 series), and AYS-153 (15 t, fits YS-15 series). Screws are included with the base adaptor.
Mounting interface for extension tubes on Yale YS cylinders
Yale describes the base adaptors as the mounting point for extension tubes on YS cylinders. The adaptors mount onto the bottom of the cylinder via two hexagon socket screws (included with the base adaptor). The combination of base adaptor and extension tube significantly adds to the versatility of the standard YS cylinder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are mounting screws supplied?
Yes. Yale supplies the two hexagon socket screws with each base adaptor.
Q: Can the base adaptor be used alone?
The base adaptor's primary purpose is the mounting interface for AYS extension tubes. Without tubes, the base adaptor adds minimal value over the standard cylinder base.
