Description
The CPVC Cross Tee is a highly specialized and essential fitting for creating complex junctions in a CPVC piping system. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this cross-shaped fitting is expertly engineered to divert flow from a main line into two new branch lines at 90-degree angles. All four outlets have the same diameter, making it a reliable component for distributing water evenly to multiple points from a single source.
Uses:
-
Creating Four-Way Junctions: The primary use of a Cross Tee is to create a four-way junction in a plumbing system. This is essential for routing water to multiple fixtures or for creating a grid-like plumbing layout.
-
Complex Plumbing Layouts: It is a key component in complex plumbing layouts where two perpendicular branch lines need to be created from a single main line, such as in large residential or commercial buildings.
-
Even Water Distribution: By ensuring all four outlets are of the same size, it helps to maintain an even and consistent water flow to all connected points.
Advantages:
-
Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: When installed with a proper solvent cement, the Cross Tee creates a permanent, monolithic bond with the pipes, ensuring a leak-proof connection that can withstand high pressure and temperature.
-
High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Like other CPVC fittings, it is designed to handle hot and cold water applications, withstanding temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and maintaining durability under a wide range of operating pressures.
-
Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: The material will not rust, scale, or corrode over time, ensuring a clean and consistent water flow. It is also resistant to a variety of common chemicals.
-
Simplified Installation: The Cross Tee combines the function of two tees and a straight coupling into a single fitting, which can simplify the plumbing layout and reduce the number of potential leak points.
