A short straight piping with a cap is a dead leg?
A short straight piping with a cap is a dead leg?
(OP)
The distance between the cap and the branch pipe is about 700mm. So the straight pipe between the cap and the branch pipe is a dead leg? Thanks a lot.

If the line is extended for support purposes why not use a dummy leg.

I would think that the worst case would be a 2" pipe with the flow coming vertically down to a tee with the deadleg on the run (i.e. down) and the flow going horizontal. You'd get a cyclonic type separation of any water which would accumulate. Best case would be either a 24" with the opposite flow: Vertical up with the deadleg on top, flow turning horizontal - or maybe a horizontal run with the deadleg on the branch of the tee going up (not likely to ever see liquid).
