Range : NPS 3/8&quot; to 60&quot;. The main pipe and the</p><p>fittings are connected by means of a fillet weld.</p><p>The fitting and the branch pipe can be connected in several different ways.</p><p>Outlet radius of branch fittings have been unified in order to allow, generally</p><p>speaking up to size 4&quot;, the use of same fitting on different run pipe sizes, with</p><p>a maximum gap of 1/32&quot; (0,8 mm) between the top of the run pipe and the base</p><p>of the fitting. For outlet sizes over 4&quot;, usually a specific radius is required for each</p><p>run size. Each fitting is marked with its nominal size (outlet diameter) and the</p><p>range of run sizes on which it can be welded.</p>
