Prior to creating a new parts list, use the Set Pressure Network Catalog dialog box to select the catalog that will serve as the source for components used in the parts list. Each pressure network catalog is comprised of a single SQLite database.
The default pressure network catalogs contain a wide variety of pressure network parts. Parts in a catalog can include pipes, fittings (such as bends and tees), and appurtenances (such as valves).
