Description
150# Stainless Steel Cross MSS SP-114
150# Stainless Steel Cross Fittings are heavy-pattern threaded fittings designed to create four-way branch connections in stainless steel piping systems. The cross configuration allows a main piping run to intersect with two opposing branch lines, making it useful where multiple threaded flow paths must meet at a single fitting.
These fittings are available in 304 and 316 stainless steel, are identified as MSS SP-114 pattern fittings, and are listed as low lead certified to NSF/ANSI 61. The supplied product information also states conformity to AISI 304 or 316 material requirements and ISO 49-1983 (E) dimensional requirements.

Cross Fitting Design
A cross fitting provides four connection points arranged around a common fitting body. This allows two opposing branch lines to intersect a main piping run at 90-degree angles.
The configuration can be used to distribute, combine, or redirect flow through multiple threaded piping runs while reducing the number of separate branch fittings required.
MSS SP-114 Heavy Pattern
These fittings are identified as MSS SP-114 pattern fittings. The heavy-pattern configuration provides a robust fitting body for threaded stainless steel piping applications.
Use the manufacturer dimensional document below to confirm the exact dimensions for the selected size before ordering or installation.
Cross vs. Tee Fittings
Cross Fitting
- Four total connection points
- Creates two opposing branch connections
- Useful where multiple piping runs intersect
- Provides several flow paths within one fitting
Tee Fitting
- Three total connection points
- Creates one 90° branch connection
- Useful for a single branch from a main run
- Simpler configuration than a cross fitting
304 vs. 316 Stainless Steel
304 Stainless Steel
- General-purpose stainless steel grade
- Strong corrosion resistance for many applications
- Commonly used in water and process piping
- Suitable for many commercial and industrial environments
316 Stainless Steel
- Enhanced corrosion resistance
- Commonly selected for more aggressive environments
- Useful in many chemical and process applications
- Often selected for marine or chloride-exposed service
Stainless Steel Construction
The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance while helping reduce contamination associated with rust, scale, and small particles that can occur with some other metallic piping materials.
The supplied product information states that the material resists corrosive attack from hundreds of industrial and chemical solutions and mixtures and provides greater strength at elevated temperatures.
NSF/ANSI 61 Low Lead Certification
This fitting is listed as low lead certified to NSF/ANSI 61, supporting use in compatible potable-water applications where applicable system and code requirements are met.
Always confirm the requirements for the complete piping system, local codes, operating conditions, and media compatibility before installation.
Common Applications
Commercial & General Piping
- Water piping systems
- Commercial plumbing

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stainless steel cross fitting used for?
A cross fitting provides four threaded connection points and is used where a main piping run intersects two opposing branch lines.
What pressure class is this cross?
This fitting is listed as a 150# stainless steel cross.
How many connections does a cross fitting have?
A cross fitting has four connection points arranged around the fitting body.
How is a cross different from a tee?
A cross provides four connections and two opposing branch paths, while a tee provides three connections and one branch path.
What stainless steel grades are available?
The fitting is available in 304 and 316 stainless steel.
What pattern standard applies?
The supplied product information identifies these as MSS SP-114 pattern fittings.
What dimensional standard is referenced?
