Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 511-003HN is a 1/2 inch galvanized steel cross pipe fitting used to create four-way branch connections in threaded pipe systems. This fitting joins four sections of pipe meeting at a single point, allowing flow to be distributed or combined in multiple directions within a run. It ships in a package of 5 units, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple connections. Galvanized construction provides corrosion resistance suited to water distribution and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters commonly install this fitting in residential and light commercial systems.

This cross fitting is used in threaded galvanized pipe assemblies where a four-way junction is required. Typical applications include domestic water supply lines, irrigation headers, compressed air distribution, and general industrial pipe runs. The 1/2 inch size fits standard Schedule 40 threaded galvanized pipe of the same nominal diameter. It is well suited to jobs where multiple branch points are needed across a system layout.
