How to get high quality pipe crosses?

2018-03-18

A pipe cross is a kind of pipe fitting. Crosses, also known as four-way fittings or cross branch lines, have one inlet and three outlets (or vice versa), and often have solvent-welded socket or female-threaded ends. Cross fittings may stress pipes as temperatures change, because they are at the center of four connection points. A tee is steadier than a cross; it behaves like a three-legged stool, and a cross behaves like a four-legged stool. Geometrically, any three non-collinear points can self-consistently define a plane; three legs are inherently stable, whereas four points overdetermine a plane, and can be inconsistent, resulting in physical stress on a fitting.

Crosses are common in systems (where stress caused by thermal expansion is not generally an issue), but are not common in plumbing. One cross fitting is more expensive than two tees.

It is used in the place where four pipes meet together. The pipe cross may have one inlet and three outlets, or there inlets and one outlet. The diameter of the outlet and inlet can be the same and can also be different. That is to say, straight cross and reducing cross are both availabe.

Types of pipe cross, corss fitting

A cross fitting allows four direction transition in pipeline fields. Let us know more about pipe crosses under the following heads:

Reducing cross

The reducing cross also is called unequal pipe cross , it is the pipe cross which the four branch ends are not in the same diameters.

We are manufacturer of Reducing cross and supply high quality Reducing cross in both large and small quantities worldwide & offer you the best prices in the market.

We have a team of experienced professionals with years of experience in manufacturing.

Features of Pipe cross:

There are three female openings in a T shaped pipe cross.
There are straight pipe crosses which have the same size openings.
Reducing pipe crosses have one opening of different size and two openings of the same size.
There are sanitary pipe crosses which are used in waste lines. These kind of pipe crosses have a curved branch which is designed for a clean out plug. They are used to prevent obstruction of waste.
A cross pipe cross has four equal sized female openings.
A wing pipe cross has lugs to fasten the fitting to a wall or stud.
A compression pipe cross uses compression fittings on two or more ends.
A test pipe cross has a threaded opening. This opening is used in conjunction with a threaded plug for a clean-out opening on a drain pipe.

Pipe cross & Crosses size

cross design - How to get high quality pipe crosses? Pipe cross, LT, Lateral cross , RT, Reducing cross, cross fittings accord to ANSI, ISO, JIS and DIN Standards, Measures 1/2 to 56 Inches.

Size range: 1/2 to 20 inches
Types: Straight cross, Reducing cross, Y-type
Pressure: SCH5 to SCH160
Standard: ANSI B16.9/B16.28, MSS SP-43/SP-75

The pipe fitting not only played a role in conection the cossing pipeline but also can control the volume by designed with different dimension of cross ends,sometimes we also adopt rib to reinforce the mechanical property when face hard woeking conditions.
