Spigot Box

The task of creating an HVAC Component is initiated from the HVAC Window.

Select Transformations in the Categories drop-down list and then Spigot Box in the Available Type drop-down list to display the Spigot Box window:

You are required to input the following dimensions:

• Duct Diameter

• Duct Width LA

• Duct Depth LB

• Rectangle Box Height

• A Offset

• B Offset

• Circle Extension

• Male Collar

To visualize how the dimensions equate to the actual piece of HVAC, click Picture to display a detailed drawing for Circular to Rectangular Spigot Box.

Note:
The fields will be pre-populated with default dimension. These dimension are governed by the details defined in the HVAC Catalog.

Click Transpose Width/Depth to exchange Duct Width LA dimension with Duct Depth LB dimension.

Specify a type of joint to use for the Circ Jnt (Circular Joint) and Rect Jnt (Rectangular Joint). Refer to Create/Modify HVAC Component for a detailed description.

After selecting the type of joint to use for the Circle Joint and Rectangle Joint you must enter the A Offset Direction.

In A Offset Direction enter the direction for the A Offset relative to the Point of Origin. Valid directions are E (East), N (North), U (Up), -E (negative East), -N (negative North) or -U (Negative Up).Using the Flip Rectangle / Circle drop-down list, you can choose whether to flip the direction of arrive and leave of the of the piece of HVAC, 180° relative to the point of origin.

In the Position list, select Connect or Unchanged:

• Click Connect (default when Create is selected) - connects the piece of HVAC to the previous one.

• Click Unchanged (default when Modify is selected) - positions the component at the co-ordinates 0.00.

  Note:
  Unchanged is usually used, when Modify is selected, it does not connect the component but positions it at 0.00, in effect in a floating position.

Click Defaults to reset all the fields back to when the Spigot Box window was opened.

Click Fit to orientate the Spigot Box to automatically match the outlet (p-leave) of the previous piece of HVAC to the inlet (p-arrive) of the next piece.

Click OK to create the Spigot Box component and close the Spigot Box Window. You will be returned to the HVAC Window.

Click Cancel to discard all field changes and close the Spigot Box window.
