Crossover

Crossover – End Feed Fittings are compact copper fittings used to allow two pipes to cross over each other without connecting, commonly used in tight spaces and pipework routing applications.

About Crossover – End Feed Fittings

End feed crossover fittings are designed to enable one pipe to pass over another without interfering with existing pipework. These fittings are especially useful in heating systems, pipe routing modifications, and situations where pipes cannot be altered or rerouted.

They are installed using soldered joints, providing a neat and permanent solution where pipe alignment or spacing restrictions exist.

Benefits

  • Saves space: Ideal for restricted installation environments.
  • Clean pipe routing: Maintains consistent pipe direction without re-routing.
  • Reliable connection: Permanent joint when correctly soldered.
  • Low visual impact: Small and unobtrusive fitting.
  • Cost-effective solution: Minimises need for additional pipework alterations.

Applications

  • Central heating systems (flow and return crosses).
  • Pipework balancing and correction.
  • Commercial and domestic heating installations.
  • Boiler connections and cylinder pipework alignment.
  • Mixed routing of multi-level or parallel pipe systems.

Key Features

  • Allows one pipe to pass over another without interference.
  • Made from copper for easy soldering and durability.
  • Available in common pipe sizes such as 15mm, 22mm, 28mm etc.
  • Compact design for minimal footprint.
  • Usually manufactured to BS EN or BS 864 standards.

Installation & Technical Info

Install by cutting the pipe precisely, cleaning ends, applying flux, and inserting into the crossover fitting. Heat evenly and apply solder to ensure a leak-proof joint. Only install on clean, dry pipework and allow full cooling post-soldering.

Ensure alignment is checked before fitting, as crossover fittings require precise positioning to avoid strain on the pipework.
