    Question Connector: Branch Angle

    Wanting to split my 150mm line off into a 100mm and 150mm. 100mm will run to the TS blade guard while the 150mm will carry on to the underside of the TS.

    In terms of angles at the branch is there an "optimum", e.g. 45deg, 30deg, 60deg?

    Thanks,

    Gareth

    15° is better than 30° is better than 45° is better than 60° and 90° is the worst, in other words don't install a tee, but the low angles make for a bulky and long fitting, I made all my wye branches at 45°

    Excellent, thanks Pete.

    FYI I found a neat pipe joint app to connect different diameter pipes together. Will give it a bash this weekend.

    No worries Gareth, I had a quick look at the pipe joint app, when I do mine I draw it at full size and then redraw onto paper that I then cutout both parts that I then wrap around the pipe to then mark the hole and the pipe end, also good looking simple blast gates in the pic.
