Abstract
A network for distributing a fluid under pressure. The network has a substantially horizontal main pipe situated at an upper level, with horizontal or vertical secondary pipes branching therefrom. The junction between the main pipe and a secondary pipe is provided by a branch clamp having a zone for covering at least one orifice formed in the top half-cylinder of the wall of the main pipe, into which zone there opens out a first end of a branch duct internal to the clamp, the other end of the duct being fitted with a coupling for coupling the clamp to the secondary pipe. The axis of the first end of the branch duct and the axis of the coupling form an angle a which is obtuse when measured between the axes in the flow direction of fluid flowing along the branch duct.
