Eccentric Reducer

RE: Eccentric Reducer

3
Sure.
- Model a piece of run pipe, up to the point where the reduction starts.
- Then insert a reducer, with an offset which equals the difference between the radius of the larger and the smaller end youre trying to reduce. Upon inserion of this reducer, make sure to change the pipe identifier
- Make the reducer the same lenghts as a reducer in B16.9. Though dimensionally/technically not 100% accurate, it will not matter for your AP model as it will handle a tee as a rigid component; so only the overall length matters, which equals the B16.9 length.
- Now model a piece of pipe which is connected to the othe rof the reducer, and continue your routing.

Also see the help, AutoPIPE's help is very useful and will get you there in 95% of the cases.
