You are required to input the following dimensions:

• Branch Connector Width

• Branch Connector Depth

• First Width

• First Depth

• MAIN Width LA

• MAIN Depth LB

• Branch Connector Length

• Distance From Leave

• Position B Offset

• First Extension

• End Extension

• Taper A Offset

• Taper B Offset

• Fixing to Duct

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

Note:
The fields will be pre-populated with default dimensions. These dimensions are governed by the details defined in the HVAC Catalog. The End Extension default is auto but can be changed by you to a required dimension. The Fixing to Duct joint default is joint defined in the HVAC Catalog but can be changed by you to the required joint.

Click Transpose Width/Depth to exchange Branch Connector Width dimension with Branch Connector Depth dimension, to exchange First Width dimension with First Depth dimension or to exchange MAIN Width LA dimension with MAIN Depth LB dimension.

Specify a type of joint to use for the Branch Connector Joint. Refer to HVAC Components for a detailed description.

After selecting the type of joint to use for the Branch Connector Joint, you must enter the Branch Connector Direction.

In Branch Connector Direction specify axis that should be used. Valid axes are E (East), N (North), U (Up), -E (negative East), -N (negative North) or -U (Negative Up).

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 Tapering Branch window was opened.

Click Fit To Next to orientate the Tapering Branch to automatically fit this piece of HVAC to the next piece.

Click OK to create the Tapering Branch component and close the Tapering Branch Window. You will be returned to the HVAC Window.

Click Cancel to discard all field changes and close the Tapering Branch window.
