Product Overview
A cross tee, also known as an equal cross or pipe cross, is a butt weld pipe fitting used to connect four pipes at 90-degree angles. It allows fluid or gas to be distributed or combined across intersecting pipelines. Typically used in high-pressure systems, stainless steel cross tees offer superior strength and corrosion resistance.
