Cross 90 Degrees PVC-C Metric PN16

  Datasheet (PDF)

The Georg Fischer PVC-C metric 90 degrees cross fitting is an engineered thermoplastic component designed for four-way pipe intersections in industrial chemical distribution, process engineering, and water treatment systems. Manufactured from post-chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (PVC-C) in Agate Grey RAL 7038, this cross enables orthogonal flow branching while maintaining rigidity and hydraulic reliability under pressure. Engineered with four precision metric sockets for cold solvent cement jointing, the fitting provides symmetrical distribution across intersecting pipelines without requiring welded manifolds.

Operating at a nominal pressure rating of PN16 (16 bar at 20°C) according to ISO 15493 and DIN 8079/8080 standards, the PVC-C compound outperforms conventional PVC-U at elevated temperatures, remaining stable up to 80°C under pressure. The material demonstrates high chemical resistance against concentrated mineral acids, strong alkalis, salts, and demineralised water. Its smooth internal bore minimises friction loss, limits turbulence at intersection junctures, and prevents scale deposition or biofilm accumulation during demanding industrial operations.

Socket dimensions conform to ISO 727 metric tolerances, ensuring tight interference fit and uniform cement distribution when jointed with solvent adhesives. Proper installation requires degreasing pipe spigots with compatible cleaner and applying cement per curing guidelines. The monolithic injection-moulded body eliminates welded seams and stress-concentration points, preventing stress cracking in pulsating industrial pump lines, dosing systems, and chemical processing facilities.

As an authorised Georg Fischer distributor, BigWeld supplies authentic industrial piping systems suitable for electroplating, surface finishing, microelectronics, and wastewater treatment. Each cross fitting ensures full compatibility with metric PVC-C industrial pipes where metallic systems fail due to corrosion.
