Hi guys, Anyone knows why, when, selecting the face of the extrusion of the accessory duct, the circular diameter of the connector, has not been associated with the shape of its picked face ? I attached here both : the family that I tried to create (not finished yet, I just modified a one to recreated the steered wheel until the problem found) and the original one.

Duct?

Surely for a plumbing valve it should be a pipe and pipe connector?

The family you attached doesn't look like the screenshot you posted. 

 

One of the connectors is "hydronic supply". You want that to be "global" so the valve works in all systems. No need to have valves for supply and return since in real World the very same valves are used. 

 

this is what I see:

Hello,

 

This problem may happen if the vertical edge of the vertical cylinder matches exactly with the horizontal cylinder edge, then the center of the geometry is different, you can try to extend the horizontal extrusion by 1mm.
