Water line fittings
(OP)
Simple question: Are wye fittings ever used on water mains? I'm used to seeing tees where a water line connects with another one, but I have a set of drawings in front of me on which the engineer is showing a lot of, what I consider unnecessary, wyes. The water mains are primarily 8" and 12".

The only time I've see a wye on a water line was on a wall-mounted 8" pipe in a wastewater treatement plant. The wye was used there because of space constraints.
