Cross

Malleable Iron Crosses are multi-port pipe fittings used to connect four sections of pipe at 90-degree intervals. They allow flow to be distributed or combined across multiple directions from a single central point, making them a key component in more complex pipework layouts.

 
Manufactured from malleable iron and typically supplied with BSP threaded connections, they provide a strong, reliable solution for fire protection, plumbing and industrial systems.

Key Features

• Four-way cross configuration for multi-directional flow 
• Female BSP threaded connections (typical configuration) 
• Manufactured from durable malleable iron 
• High strength for demanding pipework systems 
• Suitable for water, gas, oil and fire protection systems 
• Available in black and galvanised finishes

Product Description

Cross fittings are designed to connect four pipe sections at a single junction, allowing fluid or gas to be distributed or collected from multiple directions. This makes them suitable for more complex piping arrangements where space efficiency and centralised distribution are required.

 
Manufactured from malleable cast iron, these fittings offer a strong yet slightly ductile structure, helping to resist cracking under pressure or mechanical stress. This makes them well suited to threaded systems operating in demanding environments.

 
Typically featuring BSPT female threads, the connections are designed to form secure, leak-resistant joints when installed with appropriate sealing compounds. The tapered thread design ensures tight engagement and consistent performance across a range of operating conditions.

 
Malleable iron crosses are widely used in fire sprinkler systems, HVAC installations, plumbing networks and industrial pipework where multi-directional distribution is required. Their robust construction allows them to perform reliably in both pressure and non-pressure applications depending on specification.

 
Available in black (self-colour) and galvanised finishes, they can be selected based on environmental conditions, with galvanised versions offering enhanced corrosion resistance for external or more aggressive environments.

Applications

Ideal for fire sprinkler systems, plumbing, heating, gas and oil installations, HVAC systems and industrial pipework where four-way flow distribution or connection is required.
