Merit Brass K610-32 2 in 316 Ss Pipe Cross Fnpt 150 Psi

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS K610-32 is a 2-inch pipe cross fitting constructed from 316 stainless steel and designed for threaded plumbing and piping installations. It features female national pipe taper (FNPT) end connections on all four ports, allowing a single fitting to branch flow in three directions from one central junction. Rated to 150 psi, this cross fitting is built to ISO standards and suited for service environments where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in process piping, industrial supply lines, and mechanical systems.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems, as well as light industrial and mechanical piping applications where a 2-inch threaded cross connection is required. The 316 stainless steel alloy provides elevated resistance to chloride corrosion and oxidation compared to standard 304-grade stainless, making it a common choice in marine, chemical handling, and food-adjacent piping environments. All four FNPT ports accept standard NPT-threaded pipe ends.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• FNPT threaded end connections on all four ports for tool-accessible assembly
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for a range of low-to-medium pressure piping systems
• Conforms to ISO standards for dimensional consistency
• 2-inch fitting size for standard pipe sizing compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch FNPT threaded piping systems requiring a four-way cross junction in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing any existing fittings or joining new connections. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for the service fluid to all male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless fittings are susceptible to thread galling.
