In gas piping concealed in a wall, which fitting is used to create a branch connection?

Explanation:
Creating a branch from a concealed gas line requires a fitting that splits the flow, providing a second path off the main run. That capability comes from the Tee, which has three openings to connect the main line and a branch. An elbow only redirects the pipe along a single bend, a plug seals the end of a run, and a nipple is just a short length of pipe used to join pieces, not to create a branch.
