  •    (a) Changes in Direction. Changes in direction of drainage piping shall be made by the appropriate use of approved or listed fittings, and shall be of the following angles: 1/32 bend, 1/16 bend, 1/8 bend, 1/6 bend, or 1/4 bend; or other approved or listed fittings or combination of fittings with equivalent radius or sweep.

      (b) Horizontal to Vertical. Horizontal drainage lines, connecting with a vertical pipe shall enter through 1/8 bend "Y" branches, 1/6 bend "Y" branches, long-turn "TY" branches, sanitary "T" branches, or other approved or listed fittings, or combination of fittings having equivalent sweep. Fittings having more than one (1) branch at the same level shall not be used, unless the fitting is constructed so that the discharge from any one (1) branch cannot readily enter any other branch. However, a double sanitary "T" may be used when the drain line is increased not less than two (2) pipe sizes.

      (c) Horizontal to Horizontal and Vertical to Horizontal. Horizontal drainage lines connecting with other horizontal drainage lines or vertical drainage lines connected with horizontal drainage lines shall enter through 1/8 bend degree "Y" branches, long-turn "TY" branches, or other approved or listed fittings or combination of fittings having equivalent sweep.
