I had a question regarding the use of an unlisted material for a design of a fitting. I am looking to use aluminum 7075-T6, which is not in the ASME code. I understand that for a fitting, there is more freedom for which materials can be used. I was looking for some input on if this materail would be possible to use for this fitting. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
