Product Overview
A four-way connector is a pipe fitting with four connection points, mainly used for branching, merging, or changing direction—basically splitting one pipe into four or combining four pipes into one.
Product Description
Detailed Description
A four-port grooved cross fitting cast as a single unit from ductile iron, featuring four identical port diameters; it connects to roll-grooved steel pipes in four directions (intersecting at 90°) using four sets of grooved couplings.

- Surface Finish: Fire-red electrostatic epoxy coating; for water supply applications, internal/external plastic lining or hot-dip galvanizing options are available.
- Seal: EPDM rubber gasket (coupling gasket) included
- Standards: GB5135.11, GB/T36019, T/CECS151; supports UL/FM/CE certification
- Rated Working Pressure: 1.6 MPa / 2.5 MPa (standard fire protection rating: 1.6 MPa)
- Medium: Fire-fighting water, fresh water; temperature range: -34°C to 110°C
Compatibility
Drop-in replacement
This Junyue grooved piping component is engineered for seamless compatibility with Victaulic Style 07 and Grinnell system layouts. Verify pipe OD, groove profile, gasket compound, pressure class, and project approvals before specifying as a replacement.
Technical FAQ
Application limits
- Can it be used for steam above 150 C?
- No. Do not use for steam above 150 C unless a written project-specific approval, rated gasket, and compatible body material are confirmed.
- Can it replace any grooved fitting without checking pipe OD?
- No. Pipe OD, groove standard, working pressure, gasket material, and certification scope must be matched.
- Is it suitable for potable water by default?
- No. Potable water use requires confirmation of coating, gasket compound, local sanitary approval, and project compliance.
- Can it be used in corrosive chemical service?
- Not by default. Chemical compatibility must be verified against the medium, concentration, temperature, and coating system.
