Value Collection 4+B1/2 Stainless Steel Cross Fitting Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4+B1/2 is a stainless steel cross pipe fitting with NPT (National Pipe Taper) end connections on all four ports. Cross fittings allow a single pipeline to branch in three directions from one central junction point, making them a practical solution for manifold-style plumbing configurations and distribution lines. Constructed from stainless steel, this fitting offers corrosion resistance suited to demanding fluid handling environments. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on industrial, commercial, or mechanical piping systems where a four-way branch connection is required.

This cross fitting is appropriate for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping applications where NPT threaded connections are the specified standard. Typical install scenarios include water distribution manifolds, instrumentation lines, and compressed-air branch systems. The NPT thread pattern ensures a pressure-rated, leak-resistant seal when properly assembled with thread sealant or PTFE tape. The compact profile keeps the fitting suitable for installations where space around the junction is limited.

Key Features

• Four-way cross configuration enables a single-point branch into three additional flow directions
• NPT threaded end connections on all ports for standard threaded pipe compatibility
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or high-humidity environments
• Compact footprint at approximately 2.12 inches in height and 1.04 inches in width
• Lightweight at 0.27 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded cross fitting for use in threaded pipe systems; verify port size against the pipe schedule and nominal diameter required for your specific application before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before threading this fitting into service. Apply PTFE tape or an appropriate thread sealant to all NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free seal. Do not over-torque stainless steel threaded fittings, as galling can damage threads and compromise the connection.
