Description

Central Hub Design. Maximize Flow.

The Schedule 40 PVC Cross (All Slip) is designed to connect four sections of pipe meeting at a single central point. This 4-way fitting features slip sockets on all outlets, allowing you to glue Schedule 40 PVC Pipe directly into the cross to create a rigid, high-flow intersection. It is ideal for distributing water evenly across multiple zones or creating complex grid layouts in greenhouses.

As one of our most robust irrigation fittings, the PVC Cross offers a cleaner and more stable alternative to using two tees back-to-back. Its streamlined design reduces friction loss and minimizes the space needed for manifold assembly. Ideal for building complex manifolds or splitting a water supply into multiple zones for valves and sub-laterals, this fitting guarantees a permanent, leak-proof weld. The robust construction is rated for the high pressures common in professional irrigation and water transfer applications, especially when combined with quality PVC Glue and PVC Primer.

Why Choose a PVC Cross?
  • Efficient Distribution: Splits a single supply line into three directions (or combines three into one) with equal pressure distribution.
  • Space Saving: Replaces the need for multiple tees and short pipe nipples, keeping your installation compact and professional.
  • Dura Quality: Molded from virgin PVC Type I, Grade I resin, meeting ASTM D-2466 standards for high pressure and chemical resistance.
  • Permanent Seal: The deep socket design ensures a strong solvent weld surface area for a leak-proof connection that lasts for years.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Install quickly with standard solvent welding.

Step 1: Prep All Ends
Cut your four pipe sections square and deburr. Clean the pipe ends and the inside sockets of the cross fitting.

Step 2: Apply Primer
Use Purple Primer on the outside of the pipes and the inside of the fitting sockets to soften the PVC.

Step 3: Glue and Insert
Apply Blue Hot PVC Glue to the pipe and socket. Insert the pipe fully, twist a quarter turn, and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat for all four connections.
