Wall thickness / schedule for Branch should be higher than that of Header.
Pl. indicate the feasibility of this statement with a valid reason.

Your statement would be true if:
Run = 6"(150mm) Sch 80
Branch = 3/4" (20mm) Sch 160 Nipple for a drain or vent

Your statement would not be true if:
Run = 6" Sch 40
Branch = 4" Sch 40

You can have (under the right conditions) the same wall schedule for both the header (run) and the branch in say a cooling water service.

Do it once and Do it Right
