KF 6-Way Cross

The KF 6-Way Cross provides a versatile solution for connecting up to six vacuum components within a single vacuum assembly. Its six-port design features ISO-KF flange connections arranged along three perpendicular axes, allowing flexible integration of vacuum equipment in compact and complex system configurations.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel or aluminium, the six-way cross offers robust construction for vacuum and high-vacuum applications. The symmetrical arrangement provides convenient access from multiple directions, making it particularly suitable for vacuum manifolds, experimental setups, and custom vacuum system assemblies.

Available in stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), 1.4404 (AISI 316L), and aluminium 3.2315 (EN AW-6082), providing material options for different vacuum system requirements.

Technical Specifications

Flange Sizes: DN16, DN25, DN40, DN50 KF

Materials: Stainless Steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), Stainless Steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L), Aluminium 3.2315 (EN AW-6082)

Flange Connection: ISO-KF (QF / NW)

Configuration: 6-way cross with six flange connections arranged along three perpendicular axes

Sealing: Compatible KF centring rings with elastomer O-ring seals

Applications

Suitable for vacuum chambers, pumping systems, vacuum manifolds, laboratory vacuum equipment, and industrial vacuum installations requiring multiple connections within a compact assembly.

The six-way cross is particularly useful for integrating vacuum gauges, valves, pumping lines, feedthroughs, and other vacuum components into experimental setups and research systems.

Installation and Compatibility

Compatible with standard ISO-KF flange connections of the corresponding nominal size. Each connection requires a suitable KF centring ring with O-ring seal and a KF clamp.

Compatible KF Centring Rings & Seals and KF Clamps are available separately.

For applications requiring fewer connections, the KF 4-Way Cross is also available.

The achievable vacuum pressure and operating temperature depend on the selected sealing components and operating conditions.
