The CPVC command on the Listing toolbar very quickly generates a raw material list for plastic. And, it creates a file that can be imported into HydraLIST to check for availability of fittings and swapping of bushings for other fittings.
Once selected, you get a dialog box:
The program automatically filters out pipes size larger than the setting seen in the Largest diameter of CPVC item. I pick OK on the following drawing and select what I want to list:
And I get this list, within seconds:
You could edit this notepad document for any changes you might like to make, and print it for the shop. Or, you could import it in HydraLIST and check to see which fittings are in your database and make changes there.
Open HydraLIST and save a new job - ie. CPVC Test. Switch to the Miscellaneous tab and enter a new Section ID named CPVC (exact name unimportant). Pick Load List. You will see LastCPVCList.itf in the list. Select it and pick OPEN.
This loads the most recent list created by the CPVC list program:
Pick the Error Check Section button. This will search the database and flag parts that, although they may be manufactured, are not likely to be used, and therefore are not in your database:
Note these are usually crosses or reducing fittings that most companies do not stock because they prefer the use of straight fittings and bushings. I will replace the three different reducing crosses with a 2" straight cross and add bushings. I click on the first open line of the list and pick CPVC Fittings from the left and pick Find. This adds all the available fittings:
I locate 2" CPVC CROSS and put in a quantity of 10 (the sum of the three reducing crosses being replaced). I also locate the bushings and put a quantity of 16 next to the 2 X 1 CPVC BUSHING and 5 next to the 2 X 1-1/4 CPVC BUSHING. I also find the 1-1/4" CPVC 90 ELL and enter 1 for that and 1 for a 1-1/4 X 1 CPVC BUSHING. I then pick the Clean Up button to add those to the list.
Lastly, I click on each of the replaced fittings and pick Delete to clear them. This gives you a list you can then process and hand to the shop!
