The Price Brothers Concrete Pressure Pipe Engineering Manual contains tables for laying lengths of tees and wyes. Information in these tables includes both run and branch laying lengths for various types of joints with run diameters from 16 inches to 96 inches. Types of joints other than those tabulated there are available and additional information on larger diameters can be obtained from Price Brothers Company.

Small diameter tees can be manufactured without crotch plates by using a thicker steel cylinder for the "run." A drawing of this type of tee is shown further below.

The tables for wyes in the Price Brothers Concrete Pressure Pipe Engineering Manual cover 45-degree branch wyes only. Information on other angles is available from Price Brothers Company. Tees and wyes are described in the following manner: run by run by branch. For example, a 60-inch, 45-degree wye with a spigot and bell and a 48-inch bell on the branch of the wye, would be described as a 60-inch spigot by 60-inch bell by 48-inch bell 45-degree branch wye.

Information on crosses is not detailed specifically in the Engineering Manual. For laying purposes, crosses may be considered basically as double tees, and the tee laying lengths can therefore be used for specifying crosses. The additional branch on a cross has an additional laying length equal to a tee branch using the same type of joint.

To find wye cylinder thicknesses, refer to the table for tees and crosses with crotch plates, found on page 8.5 of the Engineering Manual.
