Creating Template for Pipe Lateral Stub In

Advertisement

This page explains creation of a pipe cutting template (cut back for branch pipe and hole
template for header pipe). For explanation, we will consider header pipe of size 10″ Sch 40 and
branch of size 6 “. Lets consider angle of lateral to be 45 degrees.

Creating Template for Lateral Stub In

For stub in type branch, we have to consider ID of header and OD or branch. So the input
data is as follows:
1. Header pipe ID : 273 mm – (2 *9.27mm) = 255.46  i.e. 255 mm
approx.
2. Branch Pipe OD : 168.3 mm i.e. 168 mm approx.

Step 1
First draw a box of length more than 3 times header dia and height of exactly OD of header pipe.
Here we have a box of length 1000 mm and height 255 mm (OD of header). Also draw
horizontal and vertical center lines for header pipe.

Step 2
Next draw two half circles of Branch OD diameter (168 mm) on left side and Header ID
diameter (255 mm) on right side as shown in blue color. Centers of these circles shall be on left
and right edges of header pipe respectively.

Step 3
Divide Left half circle of Branch OD into 8 parts of 22.5 degree each as shown below. Number
them as shown in figure.

Step 4
Draw quarter circle with radius of Branch OD at the top aligned with right edge of header pipe as
shown in magenta color. Divide this circle in 4 equal parts of 22.5 degrees. Number them as
shown.

Step 5
Draw one line of length equal to OD of branch pipe (168 mm) near middle of header pipe and
starting from top edge (as shown by magenta color below) at branch angle (45 Degree in this
case). Draw half circle of branch OD radius and divide it into 8 equal parts of 22.5 degree each.
Number them as shown below.

Step 6
Draw vertical lines from points 1 to 4 and intersect with them with half circle of header OD as
shown below, on right edge of pipe header. Mark intersections as A,B,C,D as shown below with
red dots.

Step 7
Draw extension lines at 45 degree (Branch Angle) as shown towards the middle of header.

Step 8
Draw horizontal lines from intersection points A,B,C and D towards left side as shown. Mark
intersection of these lines with lines drawn in step 7 above. Mark same number lines as
intersections with red dot. Connect these lines with a curve to get branch pipe cut back profile.
Connect A to 1, B to 2 (two dots), C to 3 (two dots), D to 4 (two dots) and top line to 5 (two
dots).

Step 9
Mark horizontal lines from left edge branch OD half circle division points towards right direction
as shown, then mark vertical lines from intersection points marked in above step 8, mark
intersections of same number lines and draw a curve as shown with thick green line below. This
curve is a template for hole to be cut in header pipe.

Step 10
Calculate outside circumference of branch pipe with the formula Pi * OD i.e. 3.141 * 168 = 528
mm. Draw a horizontal  line of this length. Divide this line into 16 equal parts as we have
divided header and branch pipes into 16 equal parts of 22.5 degree each. (Length of each part =
528/16 = 33 mm) Number these divisions as shown below. Then draw vertical lines of length
equal to distance between marked points 1 to 5 and intersection points marked in step 8. These
distances are marked as thick black lines in figure below. Thus we get cut back profile for branch
pipe.
