    • Duct Diameter ‘A’

    • Duct Diameter ‘L’

    • Length

    • A Offset

    • B Offset

    • Arrive Extension

    • Leave Extension

    • Male Collar (A)

    • Male Collar (L)

  3. To visualize how the dimensions equate to the actual piece of HVAC, click Picture to display a detailed drawing for Taper (CAC).

    Note: The fields will be pre-populated with default dimensions. These dimensions are governed by the details defined in the HVAC Catalogue.The Arrive and Leave Extension default is auto but can be changed by you to a required dimension.

  7. 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.

  8. Click Defaults to reset all the fields back to when the Circular Taper window was opened.

  9. Click Fit to orientate the Circular Taper component to automatically match the outlet (p-leave) of the previous piece of HVAC to the inlet (p-arrive) of the next piece.
