ASME B16.11 | Forged Threaded / Screwed Equal Crosses | Class 2000–6000 | NPS 1/8–4
Elite provides high-quality Forged Threaded / Screwed Equal Crosses for industrial piping, process systems, oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation and general engineering applications. Manufactured using controlled forging and precision machining processes, these fittings are designed for dimensional accuracy, material integrity and reliable service performance.
Threaded / Screwed Equal Crosses provide a four-way piping connection with four connections of the same nominal size. They can be used to divide or combine flow within a piping system and provide a compact solution for branch connections where four-way flow distribution is required. Elite can supply standard and project-specific configurations in carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, duplex, super duplex, copper-nickel and nickel alloys.
