Duct Fitting - Angle Taps.

[Anonymous]

I am trying to find or create a 45 degree angle tap fitting with no luck. I am talking about a tap coming off the main and running at a 45 degree angle.  Has any one had luck with that?

Thank you,

Kevin

Try this. I attached the one I created & am using.

Thank you. I do have that one. I am actually looking for a duct branch coming off the main at a 45 degree angle.  I didn't have any luck at all making one.

Thank you again,

Kevin

Yes

 I looked a little better at your question. Sorry, have not tried that one yet.

Thanks anyway. Anybody else?

What is wrong with the family OOTB?

Where is that located?

It is the default in the "OOTB" template, or you can find it in Imperial Library\Duct\Fittings\Rectangular\Taps.

When I used that fitting, it defaults to 12x12 and can't be changed and it's doesn't connect to anything. Am I doing something wrong?

Don't try to place it "manually".

Start the duct command. Go to type properties. Change the "Tap" to Rectangular Takeoff: Standard. Change the preferred junction type to Tap.

Now draw duct. When you start on another duct and draw off to the side you'll get this fitting.

Thank you!!  That worked fine.

I do appreciate it!!

Jason, I change the Preferred Junction Type to Tap and Junction is now Rectangular Takeoff: Standard. and when I try to draw a 45 off of the duct (same size and rect shape), it will not connect. I wonder if you are still even here, but worth a try.

It worked, Thanks you!
