3.   Click to select the direction.

The valve appears in the drawing.

If the Valve Stem toggle is active, the Add Stem dialog box appears (see Inserting Valve Stems).

4.   On the Add Stem dialog box, choose one of the following options:

• Click Yes to insert the valve with a valve stem

• Click No to insert the valve without a valve stem

Notes for Socket Weld Valves: In single line drafting mode, the depth of socket is represented in the overall length of valve body as shown in the above diagram.

In double line drafting mode, construction lines appear on both sides of the valve body to represent the socket depth. When you add pipe or a pipe nipple, select the center of the socket as the start point. You can trim the pipe protrusion into the valve body if necessary.
