DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 5652
NPTF Pipe Female Cross
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 5652 is an NPTF Pipe Female Cross, a robust four-way fitting designed to connect four male NPTF (Dryseal) threaded pipes or fittings at 90° angles to each other. All four ports of this cross fitting feature female NPTF threads, typically of the same size ("equal cross"). Constructed from high-quality carbon steel for maximum strength and durability, and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 5652 Female Cross is ideal for creating complex junctions, distributing flow to multiple lines, or merging flows from several sources in hydraulic, pneumatic, and various industrial piping systems.

Applications
The Part 5652 NPTF Pipe Female Cross is utilized in various applications requiring multi-directional connections:
- Distributing fluid or air from a single male-ended source to three male-ended outlets.
- Combining flows from up to three male-ended sources into a single male-ended outlet.
- Creating complex manifold junctions in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
- Use in industrial machinery, process piping, and fluid power equipment for intricate routing.
- Instrumentation setups requiring multiple connection points from a central fitting.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all threads (the four female ports of the cross and the mating male fittings) are clean, undamaged, and free of any contaminants before assembly.
- Hand-thread the male NPTF fittings into each port of the cross to ensure proper alignment and prevent cross-threading.
- Use appropriate wrenches on the body of the cross (if wrench flats are provided) and/or on the mating male fittings to tighten all connections securely.
- NPTF Dryseal threads are designed to seal without additional sealant. However, if mating with standard NPT male threads, it is advisable to use a compatible thread sealant on the male threads to ensure a leak-proof connection.
- Tighten all four connections adequately to achieve a secure and leak-free assembly, paying attention to the orientation of the connected lines.
