TABLE 3 - 3

Notes:
1.

MFR = MANUFACTURER

2. All nozzle welds should be checked for compliance with the applicable code requirements.
3. It is preferred that multiple branch openings of in-line nozzles be spaced so that their reinforcement zones do not
overlap. If closer specing is necessary, the reinforcement requirements of the applicable construction code shall be
met.
4. Some configurations of integrally reinforced nozzles in combination with certain header sizes may present a
problem in the radiographic examination of the attachment weld due to inability to meet the geometric
unsharpness requirements of the construction code.
5. Where attachments such as flanges, fittings valve and pipe insulation are involved, minimum dimensions tabulated
may have to be increased to allow for required clearances.
6. In special cases, it may be possible to reduce the dimensions given in the tables. Such design should then be
submitted to the fabricator for individual considerations, as close spacing may involve additional shop operation to
prevent, or correct distortion.
7. Integrally reinforced nozzles are considered to be the commercially available types.
8. In cases of different nozzle diameters, dimension C, should be determinded on the basis of the larger of the two of
adjacted nozzles.

Certain materials and combinations of nozzle and header pipe size and wall thickness together with
multiple branch openings welded to a header may result in distortion of the header pipe.
