What is the best way to setup your T&P styles? You have a style per size and material that contains a pipe (or tube?) of a certain ø, 90° elbows and 45°elbow of same size. What else do you put in? Tees, Caps, Flanges etc, all the same diameter.
But what about:
- reduction tees, concentric reduction pieces.
- When you put a manometer or thermometer, with a valve and small pipe 1", in a piperun DN150 is that a different T&P style?

T&P styles only allow requires the pipe and 90 deg elbow. You can define a 45 deg elbow if needed. A coupling can also be defined for those pipe runs that exceed the max pipe length you assign to the style. In addition based on the option you may also have to define the flange gasket. Outside of that.. No other piping component can be assigned to the style.

OK, so if you want a reduction Tee DE90 on a run of DE160, you would place that component and create another route from there DE90...?
If you want a valve with manometer on a 1" pipe, you place those componenets seperatly...?
@Anonymous
Yes each pipe route has to have its own style. A pipe run can be composed of different pipe routes. But to answer your first question, you are correct.
You must manually place piping components outside of those that are defined in the style onto the pipe run/route. They can be placed in a populated or non-populated route.
Unless @cbenner has already shared this.. Perhaps the attach handout from Autodesk University can help answer some of your questions.
