Valve form

The grid form for valves includes all valves (for pressure regulation) in the model. Here, you have a direct overview of how the valves are set in the model.
In the map screen, the pipe in which the valve is located is highlighted when you highlight the valve in the grid form. If you double-click in the row number column, the detailed form for the highlighted valve is opened.

To create a new valve, right-click in the grid form and select Create new.

This opens a detailed form where you define the function of the valve.

Give the valve a name or select an existing valve from the list at the top right.  This valve has a type linked to it (V100) and an opening degree (15° from closed) is set. The reference value type must therefore be set to no setpoints . The valve is located in pipe A1215  in the return pipe adjacent to node F995, and therefore the field for fixed pressure reduction in supply pipe is empty, and for the supply pipe the fixed pressure reduction is set to 0 (kPa). When a fixed pressure reduction or an opening degree has been entered, you cannot use a reference value. In the same way as for pump (see above), the icons adjacent to pipe name and node name can help you to position the valve in the model.  The values which you enter for a valve relate only to the current model. Thus the same valve can be used in several models with different settings! See also the section Pressure regulations – pumps and valves.
