Cross Fitting Configurations
Threaded Cross Fittings
- Provide female NPT threaded connection points
- Useful for integrating compatible threaded components into the PPS network
- Available in several thread and pipe configurations
- Part of the same PPS1 CR fitting family
- Select by both pipe and thread requirements
Equal Cross Connectors
- Provide four-way PPS pipe connections
- Maintain the same pipe OD through each connection
- Available in 2", 2-1/2", 3", 4", and 6" sizes
- Useful for multi-direction distribution layouts
- Designed for larger PPS aluminum piping networks
Common Applications
Multi-Direction Distribution
- Four-way branch points
- Distribution network intersections
- Multiple equipment feeds
- Plant utility piping
- System extensions and modifications
PPS Piping Networks
- Compressed air distribution
- Industrial vacuum piping
- Nitrogen distribution
- Manufacturing facilities
- Production areas
- Industrial utility systems
Selecting the Correct Cross Fitting
First determine whether the piping layout requires a threaded cross or an equal four-way cross connector. The PPS1 CR family includes both configurations, so selection should not be based on the series designation alone.
For equal cross fittings, match the fitting to the outside diameter of the PPS pipe. For threaded cross configurations, confirm both the applicable PPS pipe connection and the required female NPT thread before ordering.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the exact PPS1 CR configuration before ordering.
- For equal crosses, match the fitting size to the PPS pipe OD.
- For threaded crosses, confirm the required female NPT connection.
- Review published dimensions where installation clearance is limited.
- Use compatible PPS aluminum pipe and system components.
- Prepare PPS pipe connections according to system installation requirements.
- Use appropriate sealing practices on threaded connections.
- Support piping appropriately around the multi-direction connection.
- Do not exceed the published maximum operating pressure of 232 PSI.
- Maintain the system within the published -4°F to 176°F operating temperature range.
- Test the completed piping network before normal operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PPS1 CR fitting?
PPS1 CR is a family of aluminum cross fittings for PPS piping systems. The family includes both threaded cross configurations and equal four-way cross connectors.
Are all PPS1 CR fittings the same configuration?
No. Smaller PPS1 CR variants include female threaded connections, while the CR50 through CR160 fittings are equal four-way pipe cross connectors.
What equal cross sizes are available?
Equal PPS1 CR cross connectors are available for 2", 2-1/2", 3", 4", and 6" pipe outside diameters.
What thread type is used on the threaded variants?
The threaded PPS1 CR variants shown on the manufacturer specification use female NPT connections.
What is an equal cross used for?
An equal cross creates four piping directions from a single fitting while maintaining the same pipe outside diameter through all four connections.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
The published maximum operating pressure is 232 PSI.
What is the operating temperature range?
The published operating temperature range is -4°F to 176°F.
Are these fittings made from aluminum?
Yes. PPS1 CR fittings are part of the PPS 100% aluminum network.
Can these fittings be used in PPS compressed air systems?
They can be incorporated into compatible PPS compressed air piping networks when properly selected and installed for the required operating conditions.
Can they be used with PPS vacuum or nitrogen piping?
They can be incorporated into compatible PPS vacuum and nitrogen piping systems when the selected configuration and complete system are appropriate for the intended service.
How do I choose the correct cross fitting?
Determine whether you need a threaded cross or an equal pipe cross, then match the fitting to the required pipe diameter and thread size.
Where can I review the manufacturer specifications?
The PPS1 CR specification sheet is linked in the Ask Willy section directly above.
