Used to quickly join
common duct or pipe intersections; Turns, tees and cross intersections.
Depending on the circumstances, individual fittings or a combination of
fittings are inserted using Mechanical discipline's auto fitting placement functionality.

Join Method
|
Three methods are available for joining duct or
pipe intersections.
Elbow — Joins with an elbow fitting
for any angle, or an elbow/transition fitting combination if the joined
components differ in size or shape.
-
Tee — For duct, joins perpendicular
tee intersections with a takeoff fitting. For pipe, joins perpendicular and
angled tee intersections with a tee fitting. Tees are automatically selected
from available manufacturer catalogs.
Cross (disabled in Plumbing) — Joins
perpendicular cross intersections with takeoffs. The first duct selected is
broken, and the broken segments are then attached to the second component with
takeoff fittings.
Tip:
Use

) to join route intersections with angled tee and cross
intersections.

Tolerance
|
Sets the allowable tolerance distance between the
centers of the two selected ducts/piping routes. Centers must be within the
allowable tolerance distance in order to be joined. If the distance between the
centers of the selected components is greater than the allowed distance, the
tolerance must be increased to successfully join the two.
