Plumbing line styles are based on information such as the size, type, and gauge of the material (i.e., Schedule
40 Carbon Steel or Copper Tube). Plumbing fitting styles are based on information such as type (i.e., tee,
cross, trap, or check valve) and subtype (i.e., 45-degree mitered, 90 degree long-radiused, or 3-way). The style
determines the appearance and function of the plumbing fitting. For more information on styles, see
Configuring Styles for Plumbing Lines and Fittings
