China Equal Cross Suppliers

An Equal Cross is a critical pipeline fitting designed to create four-way connections in fluid systems, where all four openings have the same diameter, ensuring uniform flow distribution between branches. Its structure features a central junction with four identical ports—typically aligned at 90-degree angles to each other—allowing fluid to split or merge evenly in horizontal and vertical directions. This symmetric design minimizes pressure loss and turbulence, making it ideal for systems requiring balanced flow distribution.

Constructed from durable materials based on application needs, common options include carbon steel for industrial pipelines, stainless steel for corrosive environments, and PVC or brass for low-pressure water or plumbing systems. The material selection ensures compatibility with media such as water, oils, gases, and chemicals, while withstanding operational temperatures and pressures specific to the system.

End connections vary to match pipeline requirements, including threaded, flanged, or welded joints. Flanged ends facilitate secure bolted connections, often paired with a Flange Adaptor for compatibility with varying Flange specifications, while threaded ends suit smaller-diameter systems for easy installation. Welded connections offer permanent, leak-tight seals in high-pressure industrial applications.

In system integration, it works synergistically with key components: Valves (like ball or Gate Valves) installed on each branch control flow rates, while Dismantling Joints simplify maintenance access. Rubber Expansion Joints or Bellow Expansion Joints nearby absorb vibrations and thermal expansion, protecting the cross and connected pipes from stress.

Key advantages include balanced flow distribution, structural symmetry, and versatility across industries—from municipal water networks to chemical processing plants. By enabling efficient four-way fluid distribution without excessive pressure drop, the Equal Cross ensures system efficiency and reliability, making it a vital component in complex pipeline layouts.

Equal Cross

Equal cross, also known as a pipe fitting or a pipe joint, is a pipe connector with four connection ports. These four connection ports allow four pipes with the same or different nominal diameters to be connected to each other at their intersections, usually in a vertically interlaced or intersecting manner. The pipe fittings play a key role in connection and diversion in the pipeline system, allowing fluids to flow smoothly between different pipelines

Connection methods

flange connection, threaded connection, welding connection, etc.

Application scenarios

chemical, petroleum, natural gas, papermaking, food, medicine and other industries.

Product Detail

The pipe fittings cross consists of multiple components such as pipe openings, ports, elbows and connecting parts. These parts work together to enable the four-way to play an important role in connection and diversion in the pipeline system. When selecting and using four-way pipe fittings, it is necessary to select the appropriate type, material and connection method according to the specific pipeline system requirements and working environment.

Pipe opening: The main part of the four-way, usually cylindrical, is used to connect the main pipeline. The size and shape of the pipe opening are usually customized according to the needs of the pipeline system to ensure a tight connection with the main pipeline and smooth flow of fluid.

Port: The outlet on the four-way, also known as the branch port, is usually round or square. The number of ports is usually three, located in three different directions of the four-way, used to connect branch pipes. The size and shape of the port are also customized according to actual needs to adapt to branch pipes of different diameters and shapes.

Elbow: The turning part of the four-way, usually in an arc or angle. The design of the elbow enables the four-way to change the direction of the pipeline to meet the complex layout requirements in the pipeline system. The shape and angle of the elbow are usually determined according to the specific pipeline layout and fluid dynamics requirements.

WHAT A CLIENT SAY?

Customers generally believe that the material of the pipe four-way is one of the key factors in evaluating its quality. The equal cross made of high-quality materials have higher strength and corrosion resistance, and can withstand higher working pressures and temperatures, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the pipeline system. The inner wall of the pipe four-way is smooth and the fluid resistance is small, which can significantly increase the flow and flow rate of the pipeline system and reduce energy consumption. This is especially important for pipeline systems that require efficient fluid transportation. Many customers believe that the installation process of the pipe cross is simple and quick, without the need for special tools and equipment, which reduces construction costs and time.

FAQ

Important things you should know

How to choose the material of the pipe fittings?

There are many materials available for the four-way pipe fittings, such as low carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, PVC, etc. The choice of these materials depends on the working pressure, temperature, medium characteristics and use environment of the pipeline system.

What is the function of the equal cross?

Crosses are divided into equal diameter and different diameters. The ends of the pipes of equal diameter crosses are all the same size; the pipe sizes of the main pipes of different diameter crosses are the same, while the pipe sizes of the branch pipes are smaller than those of the main pipes. Welded Crosses are a type of pipe fittings used at the branch of pipelines. For the manufacture of crosses using seamless pipes, the common processes at present are hydraulic expansion and hot forming.

What are the differences between different types of four-way pipe fittings?

Equal cross and reducing-diameter four-way: The four connecting ports of the equal cross have the same diameter, which is suitable for occasions where the flow needs to be evenly distributed. The connecting port diameter of the reducing four way may be different, and it is usually used to connect the main pipeline with the branch pipeline to meet different flow requirements. Material difference: There are many materials available for the four-way pipe fittings. Four-way pipe fittings of different materials have different performance characteristics, such as corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, strength, etc. Therefore, when choosing a four-way pipe fitting, it is necessary to choose the appropriate material according to the specific pipeline system requirements and working environment.

What is the difference between cross fittings and other types of pipe fittings?

Cross fittings and tee fittings: Cross fittings have four connection ports, while tee fittings have only three connection ports. Therefore, cross fittings can connect more pipes and achieve more complex pipeline layouts. At the same time, cross fittings also play a more steering and flow distribution role in the pipeline system. Cross fittings and other pipe fittings such as elbows and flanges: elbows are used to change the direction of the pipeline, and flanges are used to connect pipes to pipes or pipes to equipment. These pipe fittings each have their own unique role in the pipeline system, and together with the cross fittings, they constitute a complete pipeline system.
