Mr. Thiagarajan :
Weldolet is defined in the code terminology as "Branch welded on" fitting and Sweepolet as "branch welded in ". However there is no reference to a sockolet, but SIf is prescribed for a Socket weld.

In my opinion it can be done like this:

At the junction point define a weldolet and at the end of the weldolet define a SW connection.This will simulate the effect of a sockolet.
