The ANSI Standard
The ANSI pipe fitting library conforms to the ANSI standards. Each fitting in the library needs to have a fitting generic part created in association with it.
For more information on creating a generic part for each fitting in the ANSI pipe fitting library, see Fitting Library Creation Rules.
Each fitting and pipe in the ANSI library also needs Master Catalog Files, which you create in the Piping Specification Database.
