Hey naberster

I can't find the link right now, there's a lot of previous discussions out there regarding this issue. If you search with keywords like "wafer valves no gasket" you should be able to find a solution, or maybe someone else will post it.

I can tell you its nothing to do with the catalogs, its all about setting up the right type of connections in the joint setup portion of the project setup.

try this link:

It's a video, follow the steps, and it will do what you need.

It will not be a completely automatic thing. After you place the valve in the model, you will need to remember to substitute one of the connections. The video will explain it.

I'm sure one of the SP's or Extension 1 had something new like a flanged connection with bolts only and no gasket, but I can't find the readme for it.....

Also, I should mention that in my original reply I said it has nothing to do with the Catalog setup. Well, really it does a little, since it will require the correct component end types be set in the catalog.

Hi, I have followed the web cast & although the solutions seems to work well - the down side i can see is the creation of dots for the  universal fastener connector - these can be seen on the web cast against the valve. As I am producing a weld list on my isos these now report as line size welds! is there any further way to remove this or creat a new fastener which doesnt report as a weld.

Im currently using 2016 & thought some of these work arounds would have now been incorporated within the package as a std by now, as was doing a simular fudge in 2012.

Thanks
