Sanitary Crosses
Four-way fittings for manifolds and CIP headers where two branches meet the main run at the same point.
All 2 Crosses in the Catalogue
What Goes Wrong Without the Right Crosse
- Two tees welded back to back to make a cross, adding a joint and a dead leg
- Manifolds built on site where no two branch centres match the drawing
- Crevices at hand-made intersections that fail a riboflavin test
Who Specifies This Category
- Skid builders assembling CIP distribution manifolds
- Plants adding a second branch to an existing junction
- Fabricators who need repeatable branch centres across a batch
What You Get From Our Range
- One fitting instead of two tees, so one less joint to clean and certify
- Clamped and welded end versions
- Interior polished after forming and welding
- Made to AS, BS, DIN, 3-A and SMS dimensions
Where They Are Installed
- CIP supply manifold feeding two tank spray devices
- Product distribution to twin filling heads

Crosses FAQ
What engineers ask before they specify this category.
Can you make a reducing cross
Yes. Give the run size and each branch size against the standard you work to and we will confirm the dimensions before production.
Clamped or welded ends
Welded gives the smoothest bore and is right for a permanent header. Clamped lets you dismantle for inspection. Both are in the catalogue in the same sizes.
Do you supply matching clamps and gaskets
Yes, from our own tri-clamp and gasket range, so the gasket bore matches the fitting bore and does not intrude into the flow path.
Get Crosses Quoted Against Your Duty
Send the line size, media, working pressure, temperature and the standard you work to, and we will confirm dimensions, material and finish in writing.
