Issue with Pipe Size

Anonymous — Fri, 27 May 2016 16:02:43 GMT

I"m using a standard specifcation (ADSK IMPERIAL) to create some PVC Drain, Waste, and Vent Pipe. I know that schedule 40 pvc pipe at 3/4" diameter is an available product, but I can't seem to figure out how to change my settings to allow me to use this size pipe. The smallest size available is 1-1/4" diameter. How do I change the settings to allow the smaller pipe?

Steve - The Service you are using is based off the Charlotte cataloge which starts at 1-1/4" (see image). If you are able to get 3/4" DWV PVC Sch40 from a different manufacurer you would need to build or have someone build the cataloge for the supplier needed.

Thanks. I tried changing the service condition to 1/2" and it didn't do anything. Charlotte has 1/2" pipe available in schedule 40 pvc.

Are you doing a Pressure system or Waste system? The Charlotte catalog for Pressure is available under Mechanical.
