Is HotWaterEquipment available in the UI

Am I correct in thinking that HotWaterEquipment is not available in the UI (3.6.1 and 3.7.0)? I can define it in code with something like

new_hot_water_system_definition = OpenStudio::Model::HotWaterEquipmentDefinition.new(whole_building_space_type.model)
# new_hot_water_system_definition = OpenStudio::Model::OtherEquipmentDefinition.new(@os_model)
new_hot_water_system_definition.setName("Main Service Hot Water Definition")
new_hot_water_system_definition.setWattsperSpaceFloorArea(@dhw_eui * (1000.0 / 8760.0)) # Calculate DHW in W per h

and it is certainly used in the calculations, but I cannot see it among the Loads in the UI. It is also present in the the list of loads associated to the various spaces.
