  Horizontal - Vertical
  
  Horizontal bend to the connection point and vertical connection.
  
  Vertical - Horizontal
  
  Vertical height change in the course of the incoming pipe and horizontal connection.
  
  Horizontal - Vertical - distance in
  
  Horizontal bend in the direction of the connection point, vertical height change in the set distance from the connection point and horizontal connection.
  Distance
  Setting between the point of the height change and the connection point for the options:
  - Horizontal - Vertical - distance in
  - Horizontal - Vertical - distance back
  - 90° Horizontal - (Vertical) - distance in
  15° / 30° / 45° / 60° / 90°
