Description
Grooved Straight Cross Short Radius
ARGCO’s Model 401 Grooved Cross Short Radius is a compact grooved fitting designed to connect four sections of pipe in a rigid piping system. Its short radius configuration helps conserve space while providing a dependable intersection point for branch distribution in fire protection and general service piping applications.
Designed for carbon steel piping systems (Schedule 10 and Schedule 40), this fitting forms a rigid joint that restricts axial and angular movement. It is ideal for installations where compact layout, strength, and reliable branch connections are important.
Key Features
- Short radius cross design for compact four-way pipe connections
- Rigid grooved joint restricts axial and angular movement
- Maximum working pressure up to 300 psi (20 bar)
- Compatible with Schedule 10 and Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe
- Available in nominal sizes 2" through 6"
- Ductile iron housing per ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12
- Standard orange enamel coating
- Optional hot dipped galvanized finish available
- UL, ULC, and FM listed/approved
Typical Applications
Ideal for fire protection piping and general grooved piping systems that require a compact four-way branch connection. Commonly used where space constraints make a short radius fitting advantageous while maintaining a rigid, stable piping configuration.
Construction Details
Manufactured from ductile iron conforming to ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 for long-term durability and structural performance. The standard finish is orange enamel, with optional hot dipped galvanizing available where greater corrosion resistance is desired.
Designed for use with roll or cut grooved carbon steel pipe, the fitting creates a rigid joint suitable for demanding mechanical and fire protection system layouts.
Important Notes
Working pressure and end load ratings are based on standard weight (ANSI) steel pipe, standard roll or cut grooved in accordance with ARGCO specifications. These fittings are rigid and should be installed in accordance with current ARGCO installation instructions and applicable code requirements.
