Details on Radiator Connections
Information on the Radiator Connections dialog in the heating pipe network calculations.
This dialog box lists all mounting configurations, as well as all connection sets sold by the manufacturer and the number of items included in each connection set, which are also listed in the bill of materials. The list of included items can be edited and, if necessary, supplemented with additional items from the manufacturer's data set, provided that the data set allows for this.
