Spears Schedule 40 PVC Socket Cross Fitting

The Spears Schedule 40 PVC Socket Cross Fitting is a solvent-weld PVC cross engineered to branch PVC pipe runs in four directions from a single fitting body. Molded from durable PVC and configured with socket (SOC) connections on all four ports, this Schedule 40 cross delivers reliable, leak-resistant joints for pressure and drainage piping systems alike. Because it consolidates what would otherwise require multiple tees or elbows into one compact fitting, it simplifies manifold layouts, header assemblies, and multi-branch piping runs. Each fitting ships 50 pieces per pack, making it a practical choice for contractors, distributors, and facilities maintenance teams that need to keep common PVC fittings on hand for larger installation or repair jobs.

Key Features

  • Cross Configuration: Four socket outlets allow pipe runs to branch in multiple directions from a single fitting, reducing the number of joints and fittings needed on manifold and header assemblies.
  • Durable PVC Construction: Molded PVC material resists corrosion, rust, and chemical attack common to metallic fittings, making it well suited to wet, buried, or corrosive-exposure environments.
  • Socket (SOC) Connection: Socket ends are sized for solvent-weld joints, forming a strong, permanent bond when properly primed and cemented to matching PVC pipe.
  • Schedule 40 Rating: Schedule 40 wall thickness provides dependable pressure-handling strength for standard-duty PVC piping applications.
  • Lightweight, Easy-Handling Design: PVC construction keeps the fitting lightweight compared to metal alternatives, easing handling and installation on the job site.
  • Bulk Packaging: Supplied 50 pieces per pack for efficient ordering and inventory management on multi-fitting jobs.

Why Spears?

Spears PVC fittings are manufactured to consistent Schedule 40 dimensional standards, giving installers confidence that each socket connection will mate cleanly with standard PVC pipe for a tight, leak-resistant solvent-weld joint. The corrosion-resistant PVC construction eliminates the rust and scaling concerns that come with metallic branch fittings, extending service life in wet, buried, and chemically exposed installations. For contractors and facility teams who need dependable, code-compliant piping connections that install quickly and hold up over the long term, this Schedule 40 PVC cross fitting from Spears is a practical, cost-effective choice for keeping multi-branch piping runs organized and leak-free.

Spears 420-007 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Are the ends on this PVC cross slip socket or threaded?
All four ports are socket (slip) ends for solvent welding. There is no threaded port, so you prime and cement the fitting to plain-end Schedule 40 PVC pipe. If you need to break the joint later or transition to metal, put a threaded adapter or union on the pipe leg rather than looking for a threaded version of this cross.
2) How is this sold, individually or by the case?
The 420 cross is packed 50 pieces per pack. That suits a contractor stocking a truck or a facility crew keeping common fittings on the shelf, but it means a one-off repair buyer is ordering 50 of them.
3) Should I use a PVC cross or two tees for a branch connection?
A cross gives you four outlets from one body, so it replaces a back-to-back pair of tees plus the nipple between them. That's fewer joints to cement and less length consumed, which is why crosses show up on manifolds and header assemblies. Two tees are the better call when the branches need to be offset from each other or when the branch sizes differ, since the 420 cross is same-size on all four ports.
4) Can I use this PVC cross on a buried irrigation manifold?
Yes, that's a common use. PVC resists corrosion, rust and chemical attack, so it holds up in wet, buried and chemically exposed installations where a metal branch fitting would scale or rust. Solvent-welded socket joints are permanent, which is what you want underground where you can't get back to a mechanical connection.
5) Is this PVC cross rated for pressure or is it drainage only?
Both. Schedule 40 wall thickness gives it pressure-handling strength for standard-duty PVC piping, and it's used on drainage runs as well. Pool, spa and water feature plumbing are listed applications alongside general pressure and drainage work. Note that PVC of any schedule is cold-water material, not for hot water distribution.
6) Can I use a Schedule 40 PVC cross with CPVC pipe?
No. The 420 cross is molded PVC, and PVC and CPVC use different solvent cements and are different materials with different temperature ratings. Joining them is not a matter of matching the socket. Stay in PVC for this fitting and use a CPVC cross on CPVC runs.
7) Do I need primer with PVC cement on these socket joints?
The socket ends are sized for solvent-weld joints and form a strong permanent bond when properly primed and cemented to matching PVC pipe. Most plumbing codes require purple primer on PVC pressure joints, so plan on primer plus PVC solvent cement, not cement alone. The fitting itself ships with no gaskets or hardware, so cement and primer are a separate line on the order.
