We've got you covered!
Schedule 80 CPVC crosses are pipe fittings with openings arranged in a cross pattern used to connect four pipes with the same diameter in CPVC pipe systems. The design of CPVC Schedule 80 cross fittings allows for the intersection and even distribution of fluid flow in four directions. The fittings can be used to create a central junction between pipes or equipment where liquid media needs to be distributed through individual pipelines to a point of use.
The fittings are made from Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC). CPVC is a thermoplastic material similar to PVC that has undergone further production to improve its physical and chemical properties. CPVC Schedule 80 cross fittings have wide chemical compatibility and resistance, high tensile strength, higher working pressures, and an operational temperature range up to 200°F (93°C). CPVC 4 way crosses are made to Schedule 80 standards for pipe components and have thicker sidewalls for better resistance against liquid pressure, physical impact, and chemical attack.
Schedule 80 CPVC crosses are primarily used in applications where higher strength, temperature tolerance, and/or chemical resistance are required. Heavy duty CPVC cross fittings are used to maximize the strength of chemical feed lines, high temp liquid systems, and distribution networks handling solvents, alcohols, mixtures, or raw ingredients. They are commonly used to handle hot liquids, corrosive media, in chemical processing, industrial plating, food and beverage production, chilled water distribution, and deionized water lines.
Sch 80 CPVC Cross Sizes and Options
Sch 80 CPVC cross sizes range from 1/2” to 4” in diameter. The fittings have socket connection slip ends for solvent welded joints using CPVC glue and cement.
Quality and Safety Standards
Our heavy duty CPVC cross fittings are engineered, tested, and manufactured in the USA to meet the top industry standards for precision specifications and performance. They are made by brand-name manufacturers using modern production practices and high quality materials. Schedule 80 CPVC crosses meet ASTM D1784, ASTM F439, and NSF standards to ensure the quality, accuracy, and long term reliability of the pipe fittings.
ASTM D1784 standards ensure only a selective grade of base CPVC material is used in production and that will have the correct composition for physical and chemical durability. ASTM F439 standard covers technical specifications on pipe socket connections, size dimensions, and PSI rating for Schedule 80 plumbing. Our CPVC Schedule 80 crosses are NSF certified and approved for freshwater applications and potable water systems.
The CPVC material used in these plumbing crosses has inherent strength against many commonly used chemicals, materials, and ingredients. Due to this, Schedule 80 CPVC crosses are acceptable for various applications involving the handling of industrial, manufacturing, and commercial chemicals. Chemical compatibility should always be verified before installing and using any plumbing lines for chemical conveyance systems.
Applications and Uses
Schedule 80 CPVC cross fittings are engineered to endure challenging chemical environments, rigorous industrial settings, and higher liquid pressures, making them versatile for use across applications. Their operational temperature range allows CPVC crosses to be used in both hot and cold water lines in pool and spa plumbing, building distribution, chemical injection systems, manufacturing lines, and ingredient distribution networks. CPVC cross fittings and CPVC pipe are also sometimes used in fire suppression systems.
In industrial plumbing, heavy duty CPVC cross fittings are installed in industrial and manufacturing facilities by businesses with chemical distribution systems and higher pressure requirements due to CPVC’s chemical resistance and Schedule 80 strength. CPVC crosses are used in industrial applications to handle chemicals, solvents, alcohols, and mixtures. In the food and beverage sector, CPVC four way crosses are sometimes used to distribute ingredients and raw materials due to the purity and inert properties of CPVC.
