I want to do a tee using a welded stub rather than using a tee fitting. ie. The branch tee will be cut and welded into the through tee.
Both legs of the tee are the same diameter and in this case are 150 mm. The branch tee is not perpendicular to through tee. It remains in the same plane but is angled at about 30 degreed from the perpendicular.

Derek,
I am trying to understand exactly what you are looking for.
Is this something more complicated than creating an angled plane
at said location and creating an axis on that plane and extruding your tee?
Are these going to be seperate solid bodies?
Hello Scott,
The tee will be an angled stub in. That is, the branch and through will be cut and profiled and then the branch welded directly onto the through. I think you are referring to creating a tee fitting which is not what I want in this case. The branch part of the tee and the through part will be two separate bodies.
Do you mean like this?
Derek,
I trust you want to do it in Routing and not just as a part as Kelvin suggested....................
It is very easy at least in SW 2009. Except you don't do it like the Help menu suggests.
It used to be that you had to right click the intersection point and select Penetrate. That does not seem to be necessary any longer. But I did have to put a flange on the branch end of the pipe. And then it just happened automatically. Originally did with 4 inch with 2 inch branch. Then did with 4 inch branch and run, as is shown.
Thanks people. I did it in weldments but doing the cuts in the piping was a fudge. I want to get the cuts to be amost perpendicular to the wall. I want to try it in routing for this reason. Both pipe diameters are the same. David looks like he has the answer. I tried doing it in routing by adding a split point in the through pipe and found it did not work. Can you confirm David that the through pipe does not have a split. I'm not in front of the SW computer presently. My branch ends with a concentric reducer so not sure how that will go without a flange. Will try to post a model.
Derek,
The through pipe does not have a split point. A pipe penetrtion willl not work with a split point. But to make the penetration happen you do have to define the parameters of the branch route. I just used a flange to be expedient.It should work from you reducer as well.
After you do this, then right click the common point and select penetrate and it will trim the branch pipe and cut the through pipe. You can hide either the through pipe or the branch pipe to inspect the cuts. They will not be 90 degrees, but the shape of the cut can be printed to scale for the shop. They do make CNC machines to do this, but your guys in the shop should be able to bevel as necessary aw well.
Thanks David.
