Galvanized Crossover Bends
A galvanized crossover is a curved, zinc-coated malleable cast iron fitting with two female-threaded ends that lets a water line pass over another pipe crossing in the same plane.
It is used where cold and hot water pipes cross in surface-mounted water installations and at bathroom and kitchen connections. The store stocks the 1/2″ size; ask for stock of other sizes.
Main Applications
- Pipe crossings in surface-mounted water installations
- Cold and hot water line crossings in bathrooms and kitchens
- Crossing lines at washbasin and sink connections
- Irrigation lines running on wall surfaces
- Pipe passages in narrow recesses and shafts
- Passing over an existing line during maintenance and renovation

Which material? Where domestic water pipes cross, a galvanized crossover gives the same protection as the rest of the installation; black crossovers are used on heating lines.

Send the pipe size and the outside diameter of the pipe to be crossed; we will confirm stock and lead time for sizes other than 1/2″.
How to Choose?
- Identify the crossing pointDecide which line will pass over the other.
- Measure the sizeDetermine the pipe size of the crossing line; ask for stock outside 1/2″.
- Check the bend heightMake sure the outside diameter of the pipe underneath fits under the bend.
- Confirm the mediumChoose galvanized for domestic water and black for heating lines.
