I mean to say that if you peruse the manufacturer's data sheets for products like CPVC and PEX they require it in very clear language. I believe that the press-type fittings do as well. Not in every case - Jamie alluded to the fitting chart in NFPA 13 for example.

Am I missing something?

Sent: Friday, September 23, 2011 10:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: "flow through tee's and Hydraulic calcultions" Hello forumites, I'd like to pole the forum and see what the consensus is on accounting for flow through tee's or "tee on the run" when calculating a system. NFPA states that they do not need to be included when using the schedule 40 fitting table. But when using manufactures' fitting equivalents, do you include them? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
