Metal Irrigation Pipe (Intersection) — Detailed Guide
A plus-shaped joint for irrigation lines
The Metal Irrigation Pipe (Intersection) is a metal irrigation piece in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. In the game's words it is "A plus-shaped metal intersection for an irrigation network, used for splitting one water source into three."
It can sit on a ceiling or a foundation, or attach straight to another pipe. The ARK Wiki notes that the ceiling and foundation option mainly helps farms get neatly lined-up irrigation systems. Before v293.100 an intersection was the only way to make an irrigation line turn left or right.
What it connects to
It snaps onto every metal and stone irrigation pipe piece: Straight, Inclined, Vertical, Tap, Intake and Intersection. It also joins a stone or metal 
Water Reservoir and an 
Industrial Cooker.
Crafting and carrying
The engram becomes available at level 40 and costs 18 engram points. The wiki lists the 
Smithy and the 
Argentavis Saddle as places to craft it. Each piece needs:
Metal Ingot
Scrap Metal Ingot
Cementing Paste
Achatina PasteCrafting takes 3 seconds for 1.8 XP. A piece weighs 3 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 300. Our records also show 60 crate types that can contain it, such as the Aberration Blue, Aberration Purple and Aberration Red crates.
What can damage it
The wiki treats it as a metal structure. It takes damage only from explosives, Titans, Bosses, Corrupted Creatures and Enraged Creatures, the 
Tek Rifle and Tek Saddles, plus the 
Titanosaur, 
Arthropluera and 
DodoRex.
