An Equal Cross, Unequal Cross, or Reducing Cross is a pipe fitting used in piping systems to connect four pipes. Composition varies by material, including stainless steel, carbon steel, alloys, or PVC, chosen for specific applications like corrosion or pressure resistance. Mechanical Properties depend on the material but typically include high tensile strength, durability, and temperature resistance. Equal Crosses have uniform inlet and outlet sizes, while Unequal and Reducing Crosses connect pipes of differing diameters. They ensure reliable flow distribution in plumbing, chemical, or industrial systems.

The Stainless Steel 304L Buttweld Fittings we provide in Wellington are made from low-carbon 304L stainless steel, which enhances their weldability while reducing the risk of carbide precipitation. This material typically contains about 18–20% chromium and 8–12% nickel, with a low carbon content (≤0.03%) that boosts corrosion resistance. These fittings boast impressive mechanical properties, featuring a tensile strength of around 485 MPa and a yield strength of 170 MPa. They also maintain good ductility and toughness, even in low temperatures, making them perfect for both structural and pressure applications where long-term performance is essential.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
Equal/ Unequal/ Reducing Cross from Tim Fittings offer exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in seawater and harsh environments. They are known for their high strength, durability, and resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance. We provide precise manufacturing, quality control, and reliable service for diverse industrial applications.
These pipe fittings provide versatile solutions for branching in piping systems. Equal Cross fittings ensure consistent flow by maintaining uniform diameter across all outlets, which is ideal for balanced distribution. Unequal Cross fittings accommodate varied pipe sizes, facilitating transitions in systems with different flow requirements. Reducing Cross fittings offers seamless connections to smaller branches, optimizing space and material usage. All types deliver excellent leak resistance, durability, and compatibility with various materials. They simplify installation, support high-pressure environments, and enhance system efficiency, ensuring long-term reliability across industrial and commercial applications.
