Product overview
What it does, and where it fits.
A cross takes two opposed branches off a glass run at a single point, saving a length of pipe and a pair of joints compared with two separate tees.
The datasheet covers DN 15 to DN 100 with one centre-to-face dimension L per bore, matching the equal tee of the same size.
Features
Built into every unit.
- Four branches at the same nominal bore
- DN 15 to DN 100
- Centre to face 50 mm to 250 mm
- Borosilicate 3.3 with beaded ends
Benefits
Why it earns its place in the line.
- Completely inert to almost all process media — no metal pick-up and no contamination of the batch
- Full visibility of the process along the whole line
- Smooth, non-wetting bore that resists fouling and cleans easily
- Excellent thermal shock resistance from borosilicate 3.3
- Modular flanged construction — sections can be swapped without cutting or welding

FAQ
Questions we are asked about this item.
The datasheet lists up to DN 100. For larger manifolds we would normally build the junction from tees — send your layout and we will advise.
Yes — the centre-to-face figures are identical to the equal tee at every shared bore, so the two are interchangeable on setting out.
