Reducer Eccentric

[longnhietlanh996328]

Dear Everybody!
I have proplem when I draw Reducer Eccentric!. In piping system, In suction of pump, we usually use reducer eccentric. But when I use pipe connection by flange type slip on.. How do I draw Reducer Eccentric?.

You need to set the pipe vertical justification to 'bottom' instead of center then it will draw an eccentric reducer.

Thanks for your support. But you can see attach file. It seem not wright. When I draw in Autocad MEP, It show real more. Can you explain for me How do I draw same autocad mep.
Thanks

The problem is your connecting from a pump. The connector on the pump is center, so from that point on it uses top.
Draw your pipe and the reducers, align the centers of the pipe to the center of the connector on the pump and than connect the pipe to the pump.

wouldn't the flow be improved by 'rotating' the reducer so the underside of the reducer is aligned with the bottom of the pump connection this way eddy currents won't be a factor from the flexible pipe, you could even have the flexible pipe in the vertical of the pipe - sorry I don't have a sketch to show you.

a bit off topic, but yeah I didn't expect it to be that way up either. the point of an eccentric reducer is to allow the pipe to drain right? that arrangement catches a pool at the base of the riser. why not just use a concentric one?

If I may jump in, the point of the eccentric reducer on the suction side of the pump with the flat side on top is standard to reduce cavitation and thus, shortened pump life.
