Hello,
I've used end feed cross over joints; I find them very useful when the cold pipe has to hop over the hot one usually when the pipe is on the "wrong" side for its tap, but I see there are some "half cross over" joints and I have never figured what they are for. Can anyone tell me?
Thanks, Stephen.
I just used one to tap into an existing pipe, hidden very closely behind another. I didn't have enough room for a full crossover, so used a part crossover into a T rotated through 45o.
Also you can form a bridge over several pipes by using a pair of half cross overs and a length of pipe between

But they rarely give enough clearance for two layers of 25mm pipe insulation :)

If you havent got what you need, a pipe bender should soon produce something.

It's quite tricky to produce something similar to a crossover using a pipe bender, I've found, if space is tight. It's something a spring and decent soft tube would do better.
What is a crossover? could someone please tell me, as I have never heard of one thanks
Thanks, much cheaper to use a pipe bender though
Maybe.
BTW Are you the old Crispy?
It's a tighter bend than a pipe bender former, and it's much cheaper to buy it somewhere else, such as
Thanks. I hadn't thought of that. It's a good idea, notwithstanding the other post about the insulation getting in the way.
