... joints ...


Explanation:
In case the text is to be used by technicians or estimators, I would suggest:
'... e.g. high quality fitting of the joints to the existing piping.'

I realise that 'quality' is not the literal translation of 'precisie', but in practise this is what is meant if combined with fitting.

Furthermore, it is customary among technicians to use the word 'piping' if one refers to a (part of a) pipe network.

agree  DutchConnection: Agree with this. I've suggested an alternative using precision, but quality and piping also correct English usage.

infurcation (!)


Explanation:
it actually, though hazily, exists.
i wouldn't dream of using it myself.
it's a near perfect gloss on 'intakking'
which reverses the flow on 'vertakking' (bifurcation etc).

i'd use juncture; your real problem is getting the whole sentence.
