Open Closed Valve - This tool is used to conclude the flush by making sure all of the valves that were closed during the flush are re-opened. The tool identifies all of the valves attached to hydrants in the flush route that were to be closed during the flush, adds them to the Valves grid, and marks the Set Valve To field as Open. This tool is typically run when the last record in the Hydrant grid is selected.
Change Hydrant Sequence Number - Changes which hydrant the valve is associated to for the flush.
In the Hydrants grid, select the hydrant with which you'd like to associate the valve.
Right-click in the Valves to Open or Close for Hydrant Flush grid and select Add Record. The following pop-up appears:
Enter a Valve Number. Click the field caption button or press F9 for list of System Valves records.

Complete other fields as desired.
Save and close the record.
More information about Valves To Open or Close records
This action is not required; however, this tool is helpful in making sure all closed valves are opened after the flushing is complete.
Select the last Hydrant in the Hydrant grid.
Right-click in the Valve grid and select Open Closed Valves. The tool searches through all of the Valves that are linked to Hydrants on the Flushing Route and selects those in which the Set Valve To field is set to Closed. The system then adds these Valves to the Valves to Open or Close for Hydrant Flush grid.
If one of these valves should remain closed, the user can manually delete it from the grid.
Select one or more Valves that you want to move from that hydrant to another.
Right-click on one of the selected Valves and select How To Change a Hydrant Sequence Number. The following pop-up appears:
Enter the Sequence Number for the hydrant to which the valves should be attached. This number is found in the first column in the Hydrant grid.
Press Enter. The record in the Valve to Open or Close for Hydrant Flush grid is now associated with the record in the Hydrants grid.
Pipes Cleaned Based on Flushing of Hydrant
