Full quote The radiator on the left requires distilled water, and its connection to the water heater is compatible because the item flow narrows the items to distilled water. Next snippet Item flows can also be more general than the actual flow, as shown by the connector on the right. The water distiller produces distilled water, but the item flow is for any kind of fluid. Related snippets Item flows in internal block diagrams specify flows local to a block.
