RE: Branch connection

There is no code for using tee or weldolet or stub in for branch, that why we make piping material spec.
You may ask the vendor/manufacturer to provide that calculation, based on my experience the vendor (MEGA spa) supplied us with the calculation using ANSI B31.3
para 304.1.2 equation 3d.

Thcusss,
