Gruvlok Figure 7068P Plain End Cross

The Gruvlok Figure 7068P Plain End Cross is a durable industrial pipe fitting designed to create a reliable four-way connection in plain-end piping systems. Featuring four plain-end openings arranged in a cross configuration, the Figure 7068P provides an efficient solution for distributing, combining, or redirecting flow through multiple piping runs. It is well suited for commercial, mechanical, industrial, water distribution, and utility piping applications requiring versatile mechanical connections.

Four-Way Plain End Pipe Connection

The Gruvlok Figure 7068P Plain End Cross provides a straight-through main run with two opposing branch connections positioned at 90 degrees. This four-way configuration allows multiple piping lines to meet at one centralized fitting, helping create an organized distribution point within a piping system.

Using a manufactured plain-end cross can eliminate more complicated assemblies constructed from multiple tees, nipples, and other fittings. Reducing the number of individual components can simplify installation while providing a compact piping arrangement.

Efficient Plain End Mechanical Joining

The Figure 7068P Plain End Cross is designed for use with compatible plain-end pipe and appropriately selected plain-end mechanical couplings and gaskets. Because grooves are not required on the fitting ends, the plain-end configuration can reduce pipe-end preparation and provide an efficient alternative to welded connections in suitable applications.

Mechanical joining can also provide convenient accessibility for inspection, maintenance, component replacement, system modifications, and future expansion.

Proper component selection should consider nominal pipe size, actual pipe outside diameter, operating pressure, temperature, conveyed media, coupling requirements, gasket compatibility, and applicable system specifications.

Commercial and Industrial Applications

Typical applications include:

• Industrial process piping

• HVAC and mechanical systems

• Water distribution piping

• Utility and plant piping

• Commercial building systems

• Multi-directional distribution piping

Dependable Gruvlok Plain End Cross

For contractors, engineers, and MRO professionals, the Gruvlok Figure 7068P Plain End Cross provides an efficient solution for four-way plain-end piping connections. Its durable construction, compact cross configuration, and mechanical joining capability make it a practical choice for reliable, accessible, and serviceable industrial piping installations.
