Pipe Parts Catalog
The pipe parts catalog contains parts in a pipe system in thousands of sizes. The Piping domain includes
the following part types:
■ Connector
■ Coupling

Cross
■ Elbow
■ Endcap
■ Offset wye (lateral)
■
P-Trap
■ Takeoff

Pipe parts catalogs are organized differently, depending on the profile where you run AutoCAD MEP. In the
US Imperial and US Metric profiles, catalogs are individually organized based on material type, as follows:
■ Cast iron
■ Copper
■ Ductile iron
■ Plastic
■ Steel
Fittings in these categories are grouped by connection type (such as threaded). The following shows the pipe
parts catalog for cast iron parts.
