What Is an SP112 Threaded Cross?
The Charman Inc SP112 threaded cross is a four-way stainless steel fitting with female NPT connections at each opening. This 1-1/4" cross allows four compatible male-threaded piping components to connect at the same location.
Threaded crosses are commonly used where a piping system, manifold, or equipment assembly requires multiple branches from one compact connection point.
Why Choose a 316 Stainless Steel Cross?
316 Stainless Steel Construction
- Provides strong general corrosion resistance
- Offers improved resistance in many chloride-containing environments compared with 304 stainless steel
- Suitable for demanding industrial and process applications
- Durable construction for threaded stainless steel piping systems
- Useful where 316 stainless steel components are specified
Four-Way Threaded Branching
- Four 1-1/4" female NPT openings
- Connects compatible male NPT components
- Creates multiple branches from one fitting
- Equal-size connections simplify piping layout
- No welding required for threaded installation
Common Applications
Industrial & Process Piping
- Process piping systems
- Industrial utility piping
- Chemical and mechanical systems
- Distribution piping
- Threaded stainless steel assemblies
Manifolds & Equipment
- Manifold assemblies
- Instrumentation connections
- Equipment piping
- Multi-directional distribution systems
- Maintenance and retrofit installations
Cross vs. Tee
A threaded tee has three openings and normally creates one branch from a straight piping run. A threaded cross has four openings and provides an additional connection point for four-way branching.
This SP112 fitting is an equal 1-1/4" cross, meaning all four female NPT connections are the same nominal pipe size.
Where an SP112 Threaded Cross Makes Sense
- Four-way piping intersections
- Compact manifold assemblies
- Process distribution systems
- Instrumentation connection points
- Industrial equipment assemblies
- Mechanical and utility piping
- Applications requiring several threaded connections at one location

Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm that 1-1/4" nominal pipe size is required before ordering.
- Verify that all mating components have compatible male NPT connections.
- Confirm that an equal four-way cross is appropriate for the piping layout.
- Confirm that 316 stainless steel is compatible with the intended system media and environment.
- Inspect fitting and mating threads for damage or contamination before assembly.
- Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media, pressure, temperature, and application.
- Begin threaded assembly carefully to reduce the risk of cross-threading.
- Tighten connections using appropriate tools and accepted threaded-piping practices.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the cross or mating threads.
- Support connected piping to avoid excessive mechanical loading on the fitting.
- Confirm pressure and temperature requirements for the complete piping system.
- Pressure-test completed piping assemblies where required.
- Installation should be completed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable codes and specifications.
Product Selection Considerations
Connection Size
This fitting has four equal 1-1/4" female NPT connections. Confirm that each mating component uses a compatible 1-1/4" male NPT connection.
304 vs. 316 Stainless Steel
316 stainless steel is commonly selected when additional corrosion resistance is required, particularly in applications involving chlorides or more aggressive operating environments.
