For domestic water plumbing is it considered acceptable to have supply flow enter a standard tee from the branch side? Maybe it is location dependent (fixture supply, at a double lav vanity versus at a main branch)?
I was taught by an old-school hydronics guy that a bull headed tee was when the flow entered from the branch side (no reference to a larger branch than run)... and it seems that per IMC 1206.1.1 - in hydronics flow is not allowed to enter through the branch. He seemed to think one should not enter the branch in domestic water plumbing, either.
It seems that plumbers not working in hydronics refer to a bull headed tee as one with a larger branch than the runs.
I saw an example in the IPC that showed flow coming into the branch of a standard tee.
