TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Fluids Conveying - branched takeoffs - conical and circular transitions Nozzles in tank roofs or hoppers.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Conical body with 0,1 or 2 conical branches. (two branches are opposite handed) Body may be upright on its centreline axis, or offset to achieve an upright front or rear face. Branches in-plane with body, or offset Branch axes inclined to body axis. Collars permitted, mandatory for certain setouts. Uses radial line method of development. Up to 4 longitudinal joints, green optional.
