Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in threaded piping installations.
Four-Way Configuration
The cross provides four threaded openings, allowing multiple branch lines to intersect or distribute flow from one central fitting.
Standard NPT Threads
Female NPT threaded connections conform to ASME B1.20.1 for compatibility with properly sized male-threaded pipe and fittings.
Typical Applications
Industrial & Mechanical Piping
- Industrial piping systems
- Commercial piping
- Mechanical piping
- Multi-branch threaded layouts
Common Services
- Water piping
- Gas piping
- Oil piping
- Fire protection systems
Four-Way Branch Connections
A malleable iron cross is useful where four threaded pipe runs must meet at one location. The compact four-way configuration can simplify piping layouts that would otherwise require multiple tees or additional fittings.
