Tube & Pipe Style

[raj.parmar]

I have published Swagelok elbow and union for 1.5" OD tube. I want to create new custom style for tube that does not have bends but elbows instead.

I am not able to add published elbow and union if I select ASTM  A 269 tube. If I add elbow first I do not see ASTM tube.

I am creating new style in rigid pipe with fittings. What am I doing wrong? I want to use 1.5 od x 0.095 thk tube and Swagelok compression fittings for this run.

First, thanks @Mark.Lancaster for the tag....

@raj.parmar Hello!

First thing I would check would be the units that were used in your family tables for both the fittings and the tube.  I have seen in the past where T&P will not show items in your styles creation if the unit strings don't match exactly.  For example, if your fitting is 1.5" and your tube is 1 1/2 in.  They are technically the same value, but T&P sees them as a mismatch, and if you select one, the other won't show up.  Start there, and if that's not it we'll try something else.

Yes it was unit mismatch. I changed fractional in mapping parameter column and I am able to see it. Thanks.

Good morning,

Is there any way to insert NPT valve in tube run? I need adapter to connect ball valve to tube. If I insert valve it just trims tube. How do I add adapter on both side of the valve? I have quiet few valves and other NPT instruments.

If I understand correctly...  Before placing the NPT component, right mouse click and select Insert fitting and then hover between the existing component and the valve that is already there.
