Available Pressure Ratings:
✔ 2000#
✔ 3000#
✔ 6000#

Size Range: 1/8” to 4”

🔷 What is a Forged Threaded Cross?

A Forged Threaded Cross is a screwed pipe fitting with four female threaded openings positioned at 90° to each other.

It is designed for:

✔ Four-way pipe connections
✔ Multi-directional fluid distribution
✔ Branching and cross flow systems
✔ Compact piping layouts

The forging process ensures superior strength, durability, and pressure handling capability compared to cast fittings.

🔷 Types of Forged Threaded Cross

1️⃣ Equal Threaded Cross

All four outlets are of equal size.

🔹 Features:

• Balanced distribution

• Uniform pipe size connection

• Strong forged body

• Ideal for equal flow splitting

🔹 Applications:

• Utility piping

2️⃣ Reducing Threaded Cross

Two or more outlets are smaller than the main run.

🔹 Features:

• Allows branch size reduction

• Compact multi-connection solution

• Eliminates need for multiple fittings

• Efficient pressure distribution

🔹 Applications:

• Chemical processing

• Oil & gas systems

• Pressure control networks
