The following gallery displays which can be left floating or docked to the drawing area.
Placement
The majority of fittings simply require you to select the location on a pipe run for placement. The pipe run is automatically broken when placing the fitting and reconnected to the ends of the fitting.
The fittings listed in the table below require a more detailed placement procedure:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Reducers | When you place either the Concentric or Eccentric Reducer symbol on a Pipe run, the run is split and a new run is created on the reducing side. The Split Run dialog displays allowing you to define a new size and tag number for the reduced pipe run as well as other properties. After placement, annotation is automatically placed identifying reduction in pipe size. |
| Pipe Tee |
Inserted into a pipe run where a second run is branched off. If there is an existing branch run, the Tee will automatically align itself accordingly. If no branch currently exists, after placing the tee and determining the direction of the branch end, you will be prompted with the Properties dialog allowing you to define a tag number and size for the branch. Normal placement procedures apply after the run properties have been defined. Note: If the Tag
Dialog Prompt option is disabled in the
PID
Document dialog, a default tag number will be used for the branch run,
and normal placement procedures will apply. You can edit the run via the
Element Info dialog after it has been placed.

| Data Change Tee |
When inserted into a pipe run, the pipe run is split into 2 separate runs. The Data Change Runs dialog displays listing the two pipe run segments. The original pipe run is identified by its tag number. Click on the new run to edit and press OK. The Component Properties dialog displays allowing you to enter a new tag number, change the size, etc. for the new run. If a pipe run is not already defined at the branch end of the tee, you will be prompted with the Component Properties dialog to place one if desired. If you do not want to place the branch run at the time the tee is placed, Cancel out of dialog If the Tag
Dialog Prompt option is disabled in the
PID
Document dialog, a default tag number will be used for the branch run,
and normal placement procedures will apply. You can edit the run via the
Element Info dialog after it has been placed.

| Blind Flange | Requires symbol placement and rotation. |
| Plug | Requires symbol placement and mirror points. |
