Hi Ed

Thanks for your comments but maybe I was not clear in explanation that you have concluded like that.

Of course taking a 1" branch from a 12" header would be much easier by a halfcoupling or sockolet or a boss and we would do the same.

The main purpose is to use fittings and to reduce reinforcement pads when making branches.

Best Regards

Using readily available fittings and complying with your requirement you need:
1X 12" cut &prep, 1X 12"X4" reducer, 1X 4"X2.5" reducer, 1X 2.5"X1" reducer,
1X1" cut and prep, 2X12" welds, 1X4"weld, 1X2.5" weld, 1X1"weld. This is using the standard fittings in my book; it may be possible to eliminate a reducer or two.

For a stab in you need:
1 penetration burn (or drilled), grind & prep, 1 X 1" profiled cut and prep,
1 X 1" weld.

The quantities speak for themselves as to the amount of work involved.>>>>>>>>>>

Another option :

Usually for water service (or other non-critical service) and for 2" and under branches (threaded connection)

: use half or full coupling (acceptable run size has to be verified with your shop)

weld, larger prep >>>>>>>>
