pressure break
Sounds like a pressure break, but it would be helpful to know a little more about the device so that it could be called a "pressure break fitting", "pressure break connector", "pressure break device" or whatever .... as appropriate.

transfer
Admittedly, this is term with a context-dependent meaning. I am not sure at all, but I wonder if "transfer" which has been suggested before here on Kudos, will work here..

: I don't see how this fits the context // Thank you for the reply. That's fair enough, especially since you indicated a low confidence level.

Thank you, Kari. I am not so sure.. There are some diagrams that I found which, togehter with the previous Kudoz answer, led me to suggest "transfer".

ground
Having worked as a chemist, it seems to me that one of YA, YB or YC must act as a "ground" for static electricity depending on the water source. So it I feel that one could translate "rupture de charge" as a "ground" in this context.
Example sentence:
In order to avoid an explosion, I attached a ground to the solvent container before I poured out the ethyl ether.

: I think "charge" refers to water pressure and I think an explosion hazard might not be likely in the case of a water system (although, with the plumbing problems I've had in my house lately, who knows??)

If it is waste water, there will be an accumulation of methane gas (sewer gas), an explosion hazard. Methane gas can also pooi in the clean water lines.

US Patent 6012283 - Method and apparatus for reducing pollutants
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising producing the ozone with an ozone generator positioned remotely from the exhaust gas.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating ozone in the exhaust gas.
4. The method of claim 3, further comprising generating the ozone by means of radiation which converts oxygen to ozone.
5. The method of claim 3, further comprising generating the ozone by means of an electrostatic discharge device.

: Note that in hydraulics, "charge" can mean "head" (water pressure). I doubt it has much to do with electrostatic charges in this case.
