🔷 Butt Weld Cross – Pipe Fitting

Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter – VikTech Fittings

🔹 Product Overview

VikTech Fittings is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of premium quality Butt Weld Cross Fittings manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.9, MSS-SP-75, DIN, EN, and international standards.

A Butt Weld Cross is a four-way pipe fitting used to connect four pipes at right angles (90°). It allows fluid flow to branch in multiple directions from a single point and is widely used in complex piping systems requiring multi-directional distribution.

Due to the stress concentration at the intersection point, cross fittings are typically used in low to medium pressure applications or where reinforced designs are specified.

🔹 What is a Butt Weld Cross?

A Cross fitting consists of:

• One main inlet

• Three branch outlets

• All connections at 90°

It can be:

✔ Equal Cross (All four ends same size)
✔ Reducing Cross (One or more ends smaller size)

It is permanently connected to pipelines through butt welding, providing a strong, leak-proof joint.

🔹 Types of Butt Weld Cross

🔸 Equal Cross

• All four openings have equal diameter

• Used where equal distribution is required

Example:
6” × 6” × 6” × 6”

🔸 Reducing Cross

• One or more outlets smaller than main line

• Used for controlled branching

Example:
8” × 8” × 6” × 4”
