When a CCTV inspection records a service connection or tap,
Info360 Asset displays it on the network map as a short line extending from the inspected pipe, called a
lateral stub. You can see where service connections connect to the main sewer on the map without opening individual observations.
Note: Lateral stubs are available only for PACP v6 and v7 inspections. MACP, MSCC, and WSA inspections don't display lateral stubs.
How the stub is drawn
- The stub begins on the inspected pipe and extends perpendicular to the pipe.
- It uses a default length of approximately 25 ft.
- The side of the pipe is determined from the clock position recorded in the inspection:
- Clock positions 0–5 place the stub on the right of the pipe.
- Clock positions 6–12 place the stub on the left of the pipe (relative to the survey direction).
Which connections appear
Lateral stubs are generated only for PACP observations that represent a service connection or tap. Defect observations (such as cracks, fractures, roots, or infiltration) do not produce stubs.

Generate and view lateral stubs
Lateral stubs are generated automatically when you approve eligible PACP CCTV inspections. You don't need to draw them manually.
Use the
Lateral Stubs view to identify unapproved inspections and approve multiple inspections at once. After approval, the corresponding lateral stubs appear on the network map.
To view lateral stubs on the map, use the
Layers panel to show or hide the lateral stubs layer and view its color coding, as you would with other inspection layers.
If lateral stubs don't appear after a few minutes, re-approve the affected inspections.
Notes and limitations
- Existing (historical) inspections must be re-approved to generate lateral stubs. You can use the
Lateral Stubs view to identify unapproved inspections and approve them in bulk.
- A lateral stub is created only when:
- The inspection includes a valid clock position.
- The inspection is linked to the correct pipe using matching upstream and downstream manhole IDs.
- If the CCTV survey direction is opposite the pipe's digitized direction, the stub may appear on the opposite side of the pipe.
Approve inspections in bulk
- Open the
Lateral Stubs view.
- Identify the inspections that haven't been approved.
- Select the inspections you want to approve.
- Approve the selected inspections in bulk.
