Available Nodes When Splitting a Link
You can split an existing link with the following nodes:
Allowable Nodes for Splitting Links
| Pressure Pipe | Conduit | Channel | Gutter | Lateral |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manhole | Catch Basin | Catch Basin | Catch Basin | Tap |
| Junction Chamber | Manhole | Manhole | Cross Section | |
| Pump | Junction Chamber | Cross Section | Outfall | |
| Wet Well | Cross Section | Outfall | ||
| Pressure Junction | Outfall | Outlet Structure | ||
| Variable Speed Pump Battery | Outlet Structure | Wet Well | ||
| Air Valve | Wet Well |
Note: If you do not want to split a conduit with an access hole type node (i.e. Manhole), then use a tap node instead. Placing a tap node on a conduit does not split the pipe into two separate hydraulic links.
If you attempt to split a link with an invalid element type you may receive a prompt (similar to the one pictured below) if the split is going to result in invalid connectivity.
Answer "Yes" if you would like to continue with the split. You can correct the connectivity at a later time by selecting Analysis > Validate.
