campana x campana x campana = bell x bell x bell > BxBxB
Explanation:
Yee is a Y-shaped piece of piping for junctions, called Y or Wye in English. C stands for "campana", as opposed to "espiga", in English "bell" versus "spigot", referring to the fittings on the three ends of the piece (an espiga or spigot fits inside a campana or bell), so c/c/c, or more usually CxCxC, means that there is a "campana" on all three ends. In English this is BxBxB.
