The four ends on these schedule 40 PVC crosses are slip ends, and the piece comes together at a 90-degree angle. We stock crosses with diameters from 1/2 inch to 4 inches, and larger diameters may be available as needed. Crosses can have ends with different diameters, or they can all be uniform. Uniform crosses are often used in constructing frameworks, like for an outdoor tent, or in general plumbing projects. Crosses with different diameters are commonly used when mixing two lines into one.
One of the benefits of these schedule 40 PVC crosses is their resistance to chemical corrosion. When used in situations where toxic chemicals are present, these can be used effectively for 7 to 15 years. With metal pipes and crosses, the fittings would need to be replaced annually.
In addition to being corrosion resistant, these schedule 40 PVC crosses are non-conductive. They withstand exposure to outdoor temperatures and weather elements, and they will not warp with changes in temperature. This makes schedule 40 fittings, like these PVC crosses, popular for a wide range of uses. As long as the system does not have temperatures exceeding the 140 degree thresholds and is not carrying liquids at high pressures, these schedule 40 PVC crosses provide an affordable solution for creating a juncture between four pipes.
