Cross, Slip x Slip x Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 40 1-1/2" (420-015)

This 1-1/2" Schedule 40 PVC Cross Fitting provides four-way inline branching in solvent-cement PVC piping systems, allowing a single pipe run to split or intersect in two directions simultaneously from a common center body. Constructed in white Schedule 40 PVC, it offers reliable performance in commercial plumbing, irrigation, and light industrial applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant four-port junction is required.

All four ports — inline run ends and both branch outlets — accept 1-1/2" PVC pipe for permanent solvent-cement bonds, creating a rigid, leak-free assembly at each joint. The cross configuration is particularly well-suited for distribution manifolds, grid-style irrigation headers, fire suppression branch lines, and any system layout where two perpendicular pipe runs must intersect at a single fitting rather than be constructed from multiple tees and nipples. This reduces overall fitting count, shortens assembly time, and minimizes potential leak points in the completed system.

Rated to 330 psi at 73°F, this cross fitting handles the pressure demands of standard commercial and light industrial water distribution service. Its PVC composition provides excellent resistance to corrosion, scale buildup, chlorinated water, and a broad range of chemical exposures, making it a long-lasting alternative to metal fittings in moisture-prone or chemically active environments. NSF/ANSI 61 listing confirms suitability for potable water contact.

Apply solvent cement to both the pipe end and fitting socket per ASTM D2564 procedures, using a primer appropriate for the pipe and fitting schedule. Insert pipe fully into the socket and maintain a quarter-turn during assembly for even cement distribution across the joint surface. Allow adequate cure time before pressurizing the system, and derate pressure ratings for elevated temperatures per published derating curves.

Industries & Applications:

• Irrigation & Water Distribution — Creates four-way junctions in grid-layout irrigation headers, lateral distribution manifolds, and zone supply lines in agricultural and municipal systems
• Commercial Plumbing — Distributes water to multiple branch lines from a single inline location in pressurized supply systems, reducing fitting count versus multi-tee assemblies
• Fire Suppression Systems — Branches sprinkler supply lines at four-way grid intersections in light-hazard fire suppression installations where Schedule 40 PVC is permitted
• Industrial Process Piping — Serves as a compact four-port junction in light-duty process water, cooling water, and rinse station distribution lines
• Water Treatment & Aquaculture — Used in recirculating system manifolds, filter feed headers, and tank distribution grids where corrosion resistance and NSF/ANSI 61 compliance are required
• HVAC & Mechanical Systems — Branches chilled water or treated water distribution lines at four-way intersections in systems where Schedule 40 PVC pressure ratings are appropriate
