I am working on an existing system where we have to tie in a new 2-1/2" main into an existing 3". Since they do not make a 3x2-1/2 mechanical tee, that option is out. My proposal is to utilize an existing plugged 2" outlet, install a 2 x 0-6 TxG nipple and then increase to 2-1/2". It works hydraulically with 18+ psi left over (reducing the 2-1/2" main not an option hydraulically).

I don't see anything in the Code that states that it is not allowed. However, the AHJ says it isn't. Before I argue the point, am I missing something?
