To Add an Expansion Loop to a Plumbing Run

Add an expansion loop to a long hot water run to allow for pipe expansion and contraction as the pipe heats during water flow.

1. Select a segment of the plumbing run, and click Plumbing Line tab Modify panel Add Expansion Loop .
   Attention: If you add an expansion loop after performing size calculations, you need to resize the plumbing run.
2. Specify the start point for the expansion loop.
3. Specify the second point for the expansion loop.
4. Specify the distance away from the run to place the expansion loop.
5. Specify the side of the run on which to place the expansion loop.
