Hello ,
I'm trying to get to the bottom of what appears to be an elusive subject on code compliance and industry jargon.
Specifically, I want to know what Nibco cast DWV Tee-Wye fitting(s) (if any) will satisfy the code requirements wherever a "Tee-Wye fitting with an eight-bend, or combo fitting or other satisfactory fitting(s) ...." is called for.(for example : Nibco Long Turn Tee-Wye
PN # 812- {2"}
PN # E145150
PN # 039923504487 ) ?
There is much debate about whether a 'long sweep tee-wye' is the same rad as a 'tee-wye with an eighth-bend fitting or when a "combo" is used.
There even seems to be some disagreement about whether .79 rad meets the same criteria and code compliance as rad 1.05.
Does a Nibco long sweep Tee-Wye fulfill the code compliance for the equivalent under the Tee-Wye plus eight bend fitting or combo or similar ..." ?
If so what is the advantage or reason to use a 'Tee-Wye with an additional eight-bend fitting when the labor and material costs and physical displacement would be higher than with one fitting.

really a 'combo' fitting in disguise ? If so is there a reason it's not referred to as such in the product description or support literature or discussed on this forum ?
I did look here with differant key word searches but have been unsuccessful thus far.
Please advise.
Sincerely,
