To Modify a Pipe Fitting

You can modify a fitting. For example, you can change an elbow from a standard radius to a long radius. However, you cannot change it to another type — for example, an elbow to a cross.

  1. Select the pipe fitting.
  2. On the Properties palette, click the image next to Part.
  3. In the Select a Part dialog box, choose a part from the catalog.
  4. Select Display/Hide additional parameters to expand the contents of the parameters table.
  5. Under Filter by Dimensions, filter the list of parts.
    Note: The part catalogs and content locations determine the parts that you can add.
  6. Select a part size.
    Note: If you specify a fitting size that is different from the objects connected to the fitting, you can modify the connected pipe segments in the pipe run.
  7. On the Properties palette, under Placement, specify an elevation.
    Note: If you are inserting a fitting in an existing pipe run, you do not need to specify the elevation. The fitting inherits both the elevation and system from the pipe run when you insert it.
