Bullhead fittings

Usually a T with the branch side the larger of the sizes. The usual trade terminology on a tee is to order by run-run-branch sizes. A tee that is 2" on the runs and 3"on the branch would be called a 2x2x3 bullhead tee.
It tends to slow down the steam velocity in the system as the 3" is feeding the two 2" lines in different direction with 2-90 degree turns. Have seen a lot of them in steam systems and they do work, but not the best way to pipe.

    Bullhead fittings

    Can someone explain bullhead fittings and why they are not recommended on any return system?
