Welded Straight Tee Fitting Question Sad

Hi,

I am looking for a dimension on a 16" (12" center to end) butt welded steel straight tee fitting. I am looking for the radius of curvature of the arc/bend in the fitting from the top to the two runs. I need to know this radius in order to give a subcontractor an autocad drawing to show that it is not possible to use a slip-on flange for the application that he wants to use it for. I have called several people but nobody seems to know the answer to this. Thank you for your help,

Ryan

I am curious of the application of the tee/flange. There is enuff room to put a slip on flange on a 16" tee. Maybe I dont know fittings beyond the slip on flange.

I am doing research on this in order to show a subcontractor that he should not try this method. I have talked to several pipe manufacturers that have all said that it is a bad piping method to put a slip on flange on the tee. The subcontractor wants to do it in order to setup a cleanout section for the pipe. I just need the radius and nobody seems to know it!!!
