The Forged Carbon Steel Threaded Cross (4-way cross) is a high pressure fitting with four female threaded ports — one inlet, one outlet (straight through), and two opposite branch outlets at 90° to the run. This fitting is used to distribute flow from a single source to three downstream lines (or combine three lines into one). The fitting is forged from ASTM A105 carbon steel, providing high strength and reliable pressure containment. All four ports are identical size (equal cross). The cross is commonly used in instrument manifolds, hydraulic distribution blocks, and steam distribution headers. The compact design replaces multiple tees and pipe spools, saving space and reducing potential leak points. Threads are NPT (National Pipe Taper) or BSP (British Standard Pipe).
Why Choose Us / Advantage
