The Piping > Valve Operator Parts node defines all of the valve operators that are available in the catalog.
The dimensional data varies depending on the operator. In all cases, all dimensional data is required. Review the preview for the operator to determine the location of a dimension on the symbol.
Display Prog ID (Required)
Specifies the symbol to use to display the valve operator, actuator, or accessory in the model. For example, you might enter GearOperatorWithSideMountedHandwheel,Ingr.SP3D.Content.Piping.SidemountedHw to use the GearOperatorWithSideMountedHandwheel valve operator symbol.
Dry COG X (Optional)
Type the center-of-gravity location for the part along the x-axis when the part is empty.
Dry COG Y (Optional)
Type the center-of-gravity location for the part along the y-axis when the part is empty.
Dry COG Z (Optional)
Type the center-of-gravity location for the part along the z-axis when the part is empty.
Dry Weight (Optional)
Enter the empty weight of the part. Be sure to specify the units when entering this value.
Mirror Behavior Option (Optional)
Specify the mirror behavior of the part.
Part Description (Required)
Enter a description of the part.
Part Number (Required)
Specify the part number. All part numbers must be unique across the entire catalog.
Valve Operator Number (Required)
Specify a unique identification for the valve operator, including the name of the manufacturer and the manufacturer’s part number. This is required to uniquely identify the specific valve operator type because the valve's commodity code typically only indicates the generic type of valve operator.
In the case of valve accessories (appurtenances), the valve operator number represents the commodity code of the valve accessory (appurtenance), which is used to determine the commodity code of the valve accessory (appurtenance) being inserted in the model as an associated part.
Valve Operator Is Rotatable (Conditionally Required)
Specify whether the valve operator fixed or can be rotated.
Valve Size (Required)
Enter the valve NPD for which this operator is available.
Valve Size Units (Required)
Enter the units of measurement for the Valve Size column. For example, specify in or mm here.
Water Weight (Optional)
Enter the water weight of the part. Be sure to specify the units when entering this value.
Water COG X (Optional)
Type the center-of-gravity location for the part along the x-axis when the part is filled with water.
Water COG Y (Optional)
Type the center-of-gravity location for the part along the y-axis when the part is filled with water.
Water COG Z (Optional)
Type the center-of-gravity location for the part along the z-axis when the part is filled with water.
