Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in threaded piping systems.
Four-Way Connection
The cross provides four female threaded openings arranged at 90-degree intervals, creating a central connection point for multiple piping branches.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish
The galvanized coating conforms to ASTM A153 and provides additional protection against rust and corrosion in moisture-prone and outdoor installations.
Why Use a Pipe Cross?
Multiple Branch Connections
A cross creates two opposing branch connections from a main piping run, allowing several lines to meet or divide at a single threaded fitting.
Compact Distribution Point
Using one cross can provide a more compact multi-directional connection than assembling several individual tees and nipples in the same area.
Typical Applications
Commercial & Mechanical Piping
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Mechanical piping
- Water distribution systems
- General utility piping
- Manifold assemblies
- Multi-branch piping layouts
Galvanized Applications
- Outdoor piping
- Moist environments
- Water-service applications
- Industrial installations
- General galvanized piping systems

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a galvanized malleable iron cross used for?
A cross is used to create a four-way threaded connection where multiple piping branches need to meet or distribute flow from a common point.
How many connections does a pipe cross have?
A cross has four threaded openings arranged in opposing pairs at 90-degree angles.
How is a cross different from a tee?
A tee has three openings and creates one branch connection. A cross has four openings and provides two opposing branch connections.
What type of connections does this cross use?
The fitting uses female NPT threaded connections on all four openings.
Are the connections the same size?
This standard cross is intended as an equal cross configuration. Verify the listed product size before ordering.
Where are cross fittings commonly used?
Cross fittings are commonly used in manifolds, distribution systems, utility piping, and other layouts requiring several pipe connections at one point.
Why choose a galvanized cross?
The hot-dip galvanized finish provides additional protection against rust and corrosion in installations exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions.
What standard applies to the galvanized coating?
The supplied product information states that hot-dipped galvanized fittings conform to ASTM A153.
What thread standard applies?
NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
Is this fitting UL Listed and FM Approved?
The supplied product information states that Class 150 fittings are UL Listed and FM Approved at 300 PSI.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the required nominal pipe size before ordering.
- This standard cross is intended for equal-size threaded connections.
- All four openings use female NPT threads.
- Plan branch orientation carefully before final assembly because the fitting creates connections in four directions.
- NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
- Hot-dipped galvanized fittings conform to ASTM A153 according to the supplied product information.
- Use compatible galvanized pipe, fittings, thread sealant, and accepted threaded installation practices.
- Avoid damaging the galvanized coating during handling and installation.
- Verify system pressure, service, potable-water, code, and approval requirements before installation.
- Refer to the specification sheet and Certificate of Conformance for additional product information.
