Branch & multi-port arrangements
Identify each connection, branch location and orientation on a drawing. State the size and wall requirement at every end.
Your drawing.
A defined connection.
Bring together the geometry, material and inspection requirements for a fitting that falls outside your usual catalogue selection.
DRAWING-LED ENQUIRIES
Start with the geometry
Describe the fitting you need before selecting a material or supply route.
Non-standard changes in size
Define end sizes, overall length, offset and transition profile. Include any restrictions imposed by the piping layout.
Project-specific direction changes
Provide the required angle, centreline geometry and tangent lengths. Dimensions should be tied to clear drawing datums.
Special end details
Document end preparation, mating components and any unusual connection geometry for review.
These are enquiry categories, not confirmation of manufacturing capability for every geometry. Feasibility, inspection scope and delivery are confirmed against the specific requirement.
TECHNICAL REVIEW
From drawing to a clear supply scope
Make the review easier by sending one controlled set of requirements.
Define
Supply the latest drawing, revision, bill of materials and service specification.
Review
Identify the critical interfaces, material requirements and inspection points for technical review.
Confirm
Agree the final drawing, scope, documentation and delivery requirements before proceeding.
ENQUIRY CHECKLIST

Exact grade, material specification and any approved alternatives.
- Tolerances
Identify critical dimensions and the applicable acceptance limits.
- Joining details
End preparation, weld interfaces and mating components.
- Inspection
Testing, certification, marking and hold points.
- Supply scope
Quantity, drawing revision, destination and required date.

Before you enquire about a special fitting
What makes a fitting a special fitting?
It may have a geometry, length, connection arrangement or other requirement that is not covered by the chosen standard product configuration. State exactly what differs.
Can I send a sketch instead of a finished drawing?
A sketch can help explain the enquiry. Clearly mark any undecided dimensions. A controlled drawing and agreed specification are needed before a final technical commitment.
Can you confirm availability from a picture?
A picture alone does not define wall thickness, material, tolerances or acceptance criteria. Include dimensional and specification details for a meaningful review.
Will every custom design be accepted?
No. Manufacturing feasibility, inspection requirements and commercial scope must be reviewed for the specific design.
