Why is the corp stop required to be placed at 45 degrees?

The requirement for placing the corp stop at a 45-degree angle primarily centers around its functional benefits in preventing debris and sediment from entering the service line. When installed at this angle, the corp stop helps direct the flow and minimizes the potential for particulate matter to settle at the junction, which could impede water quality and pressure. This strategic positioning aids in maintaining a clean and unobstructed path for water delivery.

While other considerations like ease of access for repairs or ensuring proper water flow can influence installation decisions, the primary intention behind the 45-degree placement relates to maintaining the integrity of the service line by reducing the risk of contaminants entering the water supply.
