Whirlpool 69029129053 Pipe Cross 1-1/2 in 3000 Lb Socket Weld

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029129053 is a forged steel pipe cross fitting rated for 3000-pound pressure service and configured for socket weld connections. It is manufactured to ASTM A105 carbon steel material standards, making it suitable for high-pressure piping systems where a four-way branch connection is required. The fitting measures 1-1/2 inches in size and is designed for installation by licensed pipefitters or plumbing professionals in industrial and commercial piping applications. The socket weld end configuration allows for full-penetration welds at each branch, providing a secure, leak-resistant joint under demanding service conditions.

This pipe cross is used in high-pressure process piping, steam lines, hydraulic systems, and other fluid-handling applications where a cross-pattern flow distribution point is needed. The ASTM A105 carbon steel construction makes it appropriate for use in systems carrying steam, water, oil, or gas at elevated pressures. It is typically found in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial plants, and similar environments where forged fittings are specified by code or engineering design.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size for compatibility with standard Schedule piping
• 3000 lb pressure class rating for high-pressure service applications
• Socket weld end connections for full-penetration welded joints
• ASTM A105 carbon steel material for strength and durability in high-temperature, high-pressure service
• Four-way cross configuration allows branching flow in perpendicular directions within the piping system

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use forged steel pipe cross for 1-1/2 inch socket weld piping systems rated at 3000 lb pressure class per ASME B16.11 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical and piping codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before cutting in or replacing any fitting. Socket weld connections require proper gap clearance and certified weld procedures; follow ASME B31.1 or B31.3 requirements as applicable to the system. Do not substitute this fitting in systems with pressure or temperature ratings that exceed its listed class.
