Stainless Steel TC 4-Way Cross – Neza Engineering Co.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The Stainless Steel TC 4-Way Cross is a premium hygienic pipe fitting offered by Neza Engineering Co., designed to distribute or merge fluids in a four-directional flow pattern. Fabricated using high-grade stainless steel (SS 304 / 316 / 316L) and featuring Tri-Clamp (TC) connections, this cross is a critical component in cleanroom, sterile, and CIP/SIP-ready environments.

Whether you’re managing pipelines in dairy plants, pharmaceutical labs, food processing units, or beverage lines, the TC 4-Way Cross provides the flexibility, safety, and hygiene compliance required for modern fluid transfer systems.

What is a TC 4-Way Cross?

A TC 4-Way Cross is a sanitary pipe fitting that connects four pipelines, all intersecting at 90 degrees. It is typically used to:

• Split or merge fluids from multiple process lines

• Redirect flow without contamination

• Enable multi-line sampling, dosing, or distribution

The Tri-Clamp (TC) connection ensures quick installation and disassembly without requiring tools—ideal for applications demanding frequent cleaning or part replacement.

Types of TC 4-Way Crosses Available

1. Equal 4-Way Cross

   • All four branches have equal diameter.

   • Suitable for balanced flow distribution.

2. Reducing 4-Way Cross

   • One or more branches have different diameters.

   • Useful when integrating multiple pipeline sizes.

3. Custom-Made Designs

   • For unique space or pressure configurations.

   • Available upon request.

Choosing the Right TC Cross

To select the best fitting for your application, consider the following:

1. Pipeline Size – Match with existing lines.

2. Type of Flow – Equal or reducing based on inlet/outlet diameter.

3. Material Grade – Use 316L for critical pharma and corrosive applications.

4. Seal Material – PTFE for chemical resistance; EPDM/Silicone for food-grade use.

5. Finish Requirements – Mirror polish for visible installations; matte for hidden ones.

Maintenance and Hygiene Guidelines
