If the input file will be used with the Windows version of EPANET, then adding a comment which contains the curve type and description, separated by a colon, directly above the first entry for a curve will ensure that these items appear correctly in EPANET's Curve Editor.

2. Shutoff valves and check valves are considered to be part of a pipe, not a separate control valve component (see @ref PipesPage).
3. The loss coefficient setting for a TCV should not be less than its fully open loss coefficient.
4. The characteristic curve for a PCV relates the valve's fraction of fully open flow to the fraction open.
5. The head loss curve for a GPV relates head loss across the valve to the flow rate through it.
