HWC Systems

[phil.pleiss]

I am begining to create plumbing systems in my model. Has anyone came up with a solution for Hot Water Circulation? I can get the system to calculate Fixture Units but when it hits a Tee for a circ line it doesnt calculate the [FU] in the pipe. I tried making a Tee into a Plumbing Fixture and changed the connector properties but it doesnt work so smoothly.

Will anything other can plumbing fixture family types work? Maybe a accessory or something?

Thanks!

So I figured this out. Well partially. I am able to make another little fixture connector to put between the HWC and DWH. On one side it is a Domestic Hot Water connector (for HWC) and the other is global connector. The global connector is acting like an end cap so the flow from the DWH knows where to go. I could probably use a circuit setter or check valve if i set up the connectors right but I didnt do it that way.

Now I have run into anoter problem. The bathroom fixtures area able to calculate gpm by fixture units. Further down the line we have a kitchen and I do not have fixture units for the kitchen equipment. I am going to try and find a way to have it add the GPM into the system some how. If anyone has any bright ideas please post them.

Thanks!
