resizing bridle connection from 3/4" to 2"
(OP)
hello,
i would like to inquire what is the best practice to re-size a bridle connection from 3/4" to 2". the main bridle size is 2", SS316, 2mm wall thickness. is it advisable to cut the 3/4" weld-o-let and replace it with 2" weld-o-let or to install a 2" equal tee in place? our subcontractor prefer to use the weldolet... i couldn't find a reference in b31.3 for this application... can you help?
thanks a lot in advance

Could you please include a sketch or photo with a description of what you mean.
Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results

and welding a weldolet on a 2" 2mm thickk pipe is a very bad idea. it will banana-warp the pipe instantly (due to excessive heat input in 316) and leave you with an 'elbow' you dont need.
