To Add an Appurtenance to a Pressure Network

You can add appurtenances during pressure network layout or editing. Unlike pressure pipes and fittings, appurtenances are categorized by type (such as valves) rather than by material.

In plan view, appurtenances can be added to the ends of a pipe or inserted anywhere along a pipe. Layout cues are displayed to indicate where the appurtenance can be inserted.

  1. Create a pressure network and begin laying it out using the Pipes and Bends or Pipes Only options.
  2. On the Pressure Network Plan Layout ribbon tab, on the Insert panel, select the type of appurtenance to add.
  3. Click Add Appurtenance .
  4. Select the insertion point.
