About the Maximum Pipe Size Check Structure Rule

This rule checks to see if pipes entering a structure have a diameter or width that exceeds a specified maximum value.

This rule analyzes all pipes attached to a structure and checks to see whether the pipe diameter or width is within the specified maximum value. For example, a manhole that is three feet wide in diameter may not be able to accommodate a pipe that is three feet wide in diameter.

Parameters

The following parameters govern the behavior of this rule:

• Maximum Pipe Diameter or Width. For circular pipes, this parameter measures the pipe diameter. For rectangular pipes, it measures width. If a pipe diameter or width exceeds the maximum value, a warning is issued on the structure. Note that this parameter provides validation only; it does not alter (move or resize) the part in the drawing in any way. It simply produces a rule violation on the part if the specified value is exceeded.
