If as you say the client doesn't want galvanized clamp on tees, which I consider the best solution, the other consideration is installation labor. 6" threaded is a lot of labor in the air, and difficult to repair a leak at test time. Before I went that route I'd sure look at 6x6x2" GV tees.

By far the best way to do this would be to cut saddles in the field. By far - no galvanized welding issues, no threading ... way too easy.

I'm trying to determine the least costly way to transition to the 2" branch lines. The two options I have are using 6"x2" threaded reducer tee or 2" thread-o-let and re-galvanizing the weld. The client requires galvanized pipe and does not want to use mechanical clamp fittings. Any suggestions to which method is the least expensive?
