This 108mm pipe OD buttwelding cross fourway splitter is a stainless steel fitting designed for homebrew beer and wine systems. Made from SUS 304 stainless steel, it provides a strong, sanitary fourway junction that can be welded directly to 108 mm outside diameter piping. The buttwelding design delivers a clean, secure joint with a smooth interior to support hygienic beverage handling. Key benefits Fourway flow distribution: enables splitting and routing of liquid to multiple lines from a single source, reducing the need for additional fittings and minimizing potential leak points. Strong, sanitary joints: buttweld ends create a solid, seamless connection with a smooth bore, improving cleaning and sanitation and reducing crevices where residues can accumulate. Foodgrade stainless steel: SUS 304 stainless steel offers corrosion resistance and suitability for beverage processing, helping maintain flavor integrity and longterm reliability. Compatibility with 108 mm piping: specifically designed to fit 108 mm pipe outside diameter, ensuring proper alignment and a secure fit in compatible systems. Durable and easy to sanitize: robust construction supports repeated sanitation cycles typical in beer and wine production, contributing to consistent quality. Cleanability and hygiene: smooth interior bore and welded joints facilitate thorough cleaning and sanitization between batches. Key attributes Functionality: fourway cross junction for distributing liquid flow to up to four lines in a single installation. Connection type: buttwelding ends for strong, gasket joints. Size: designed for 108 mm pipe outside diameter. Material: SUS 304 stainless steel, suitable for foodgrade beverage applications. Performance: corrosionresistant and durable for repeated use in homebrew and winemaking setups. Use cases Homebrewing: split wort flow from the kettle to two fermentation vessels and a monitoring/sampling line, enabling simultaneous processing without multiple adapters. Wine making: route must or liquid transfer to multiple fermentation vessels or ancillary equipment (e.g., transfer to a conditioning vessel and a testing/pressing line) from a single source. Sanitation and process loops: create a sanitation or cleaning loop by routing cleaning solution through multiple lines in a compact configuration, minimizing connection points and potential contamination. Installation and care Installation requires butt welding to 108 mm OD piping. Welding should be performed by qualified personnel to ensure proper fit and a sanitary joint. Before first use and after each cleaning cycle, sanitize the fitting according to your standard brewery or winery protocol. Inspect the welds and bore for any signs of damage or irregularities and ensure alignment with connected piping to maintain a smooth internal surface. This cross fourway splitter meets the demands of homebrew and winemaking systems by combining a corrosionresistant SUS 304 stainless steel construction with a reliable buttweld connection and a practical, fourway flow design. It provides a compact, hygienic solution for distributing liquids across multiple vessels or lines while maintaining beverage quality and system cleanliness.
