    Nice. I wonder if that meets code in the US. Clean soldering job too.

    They are used in U.S.
    Current price of copper has reduced it; soldering laterals with Tee's a comparable cost (+) a bit extra labor and (-) prices on bulk purchases.
    Flares are used more widely in commercial use, above slab, because (when) runs are longer.
