High Quality Four-way Pipe Fitting

A pipe four-way, also known as a cross fitting, is a type of pipe fitting that connects four pipes at right angles, forming a “+” shape. It has one inlet and three outlets (or vice versa), allowing fluid or gas to flow in multiple directions.

Types of Pipe Four-Way Fittings:

1. Equal Cross – All four openings are the same size.
2. Reducing Cross – One or more openings have different diameters, allowing connection between pipes of varying sizes.

Materials:

• Metal (Stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, copper) – Used in high-pressure or high-temperature applications.
• Plastic (PVC, CPVC, HDPE) – Common in water supply, drainage, and chemical transport.

Applications:

• Plumbing systems
• HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning)
• Industrial pipelines (oil, gas, chemicals)
• Fire sprinkler systems

Advantages:

• Allows multi-directional flow distribution.
• Saves space compared to using multiple elbows or tees.
• Available in threaded, socket weld, or solvent weld connections.

Disadvantages:

• Can create turbulence or pressure drops in fluid flow.
• Requires precise alignment during installation.
