Mechanical Tees – Fitting Size or Hole Size?

This entry updates one I did a few years ago. The method for specifying whether HydraLIST should use the hole size or the fitting size has changed.

If you want to spec the fitting size, then just keep listing the 'usual way'. If you want the hole size then right-click in the Fitting column adjacent to the pipe you are working on. Pick Hole from the fitting class list and then pick the fitting type you want
