CPVC Cross Tee
CPVC Cross Tee is a type of pipe fitting made from Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) that is used to connect four CPVC pipes at 90° angles, allowing the flow of liquid to be distributed or combined in four different directions within a piping system. A CPVC Cross Tee is a four-way pipe fitting designed with one main inlet and three outlets arranged in a cross shape. It is used in CPVC piping systems to divide or redirect the flow of fluids such as water or chemicals into multiple directions.
The CPVC Cross Tee is a robust four-way pipe fitting designed to connect four CPVC pipes at right angles, forming a cross-shaped junction. It enables efficient fluid distribution or collection from multiple directions, making it ideal for branching pipe systems in industrial and commercial applications. This CPVC cross tee offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, and chemical exposure. It ensures a reliable and leak-proof connection, especially in systems that handle hot water, aggressive chemicals, or process fluids.
