Cross Construction
A threaded cross provides four connection points within one fitting. Two connections form one straight-through run, while the other two form a second intersecting run at 90 degrees.
This configuration is useful where piping must branch in multiple directions from a single junction.
The threaded design allows the cross to connect with compatible threaded pipe, nipples, valves, and fittings.
