DESCRIPTION
The Riser component (Stack for Sanitary drainage systems) enables connecting fragments of a system arranged on several plan sheets, each of which represents a separate storey. This allows making calculations of systems in multistorey buildings. The elevations of riser connections on the individual storeys are determined from the elevations of conduits. The effect of applying the Riser and connection points can be checked using the 3D view.
LOCATION IN THE PROGRAM
Riser icons are located in the 2D Editor window on the Main tools toolbar:
- section Convectional for Convection heating and cooling systems (with no radiant components) and Rad.-floors,walls for Floor and wall heating and cooling systems
1. Insert Riser for convectional and radiant systems. - section Water supply for Water supply systems
2. Insert Riser for Water supply systems. - section Drainage (S) for Sanitary drainage systems
3. Insert Stack for Sanitary drainage systems.
EXAMPLE OF USE
Inserting a riser that runs through several storeys
- Insert Riser into one of the plan drawings.
- Enter the symbol in the Data table and select the starting and terminal storeys.
- Make connections to the riser on all storeys using Pipe-run.
Creation of Drainage stacks with deviation
In practice, it can often happen that Drainage stacks are deviated across different stores and are not located directly above each other. For such cases the following steps should be carried out:
- Place the Stack element on the drawing;
- Specify the Position for each. It is recommended that the "upstairs" and "downstairs" stacks have a common storey in their ranges. In this case, the connection will automatically be created on this storey.
