I'm glad you enjoyed it! You might also enjoy our other "pipe types" videos (links in the description). Remember that we upload videos like this every week. See you around.
Great Piping Videos Alex! so many other Revit videos are "Plumbing" so glad I came across yours! Do you know where I can find B31.3, CL150, Carbon steel, A-105 forged steel fittings, beveled end/Butt welded type, etc. vendors that provide Revit Families? seems the out of the box has mostly Malleable iron, flanged end fittings.
Hi Daren. Thanks for the comment. We try to go a little deeper into things and spice it up with some real engineering. B31.3? Are you doing process piping? (Chemical, Oil, Pharmaceutical?). I doubt you will fond those easily... For A105 maybe Anvil?... You can always create duplicates from threaded or something similar and modify the parameters... For example, I took the out-of-the-box PVC and modified the hub distances (got rid of them) to mimic No Hub Cast Iron...Autodesk's fittings are friendlier than IB Foundry or Charlotte. Are you familiar with "Lookup Tables"? Good luck =)
Hi Raul. It depends on how you define it. You can use this grooved fitting: www.ferguson.com/product/victaulic-firelock-style-50-2-12-x-2-in-grooved-painted-concentric-reducer-vdomfc07050p00/_/R-4126759 Good luck! =)
You are welcome. Do you mean a welded elbow with ports with same diameter as the connecting pipe? The "Standard" pipe type, out of the box Revit, I believe should have that. Let me know if you would like me to create a video on elbow family creation.
@@l.aalbert8596 I can speak for US Imperial>Pipe>Fittings>Generic. That can be your base for elbows and tees. As far as Valves and other fittings, you can look into Carbon Steel and Steel Flanges. You can also create a particular family that is welded on one end and flanged at the other end, but that will have to be in the family. Remember a flange is something you are "forcing" to exist at the end of the pipe when you select a "flange" in your pipe type routing preferences. I hope this helps you.
hallo, Great video, I have doubt, when I model the fire network I am facing one issue with transition between grooved and threaded, for example 2.5" to 2" I cannot connect the pipe.is there any way?
Hi Alex, Is it possible to create a routing preference with both tap and tee fittings? I would like to have a main pipe connected to branch lines with a welded outlet (tap) at the main and a grooves tee at the branch lines, is there a way to achieve this within one routing preference?
Hi Alex, thanks for the video, i'm having a little problem though. I have downloaded the victaulic families and load them, but they don't show any coupling. Is there any visibility setting i'm now aware of? thanks for comments
Hi Emmanuel. Keep in mind Victaulic uses the fitting (say the 001-003 elbow), and then the coupling (say the 009EZ) as separate entities. You have two different approaches: - You can either use the coupling as a "flange" or "union". - Or nest the coupling family under the fitting (elbow or tee) (and set Flange to "none") I might do a video on this soon. In the meantime, this video from Barry Clark is really good: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CXhsj2WywKY.html Good luck.

The whole Pipe Type, you can get here: www.bimitup.com/product-page/03-bimitup-pipe-types-fire-protection-grooved-and-threaded-steel The grooved fittings, from the Victaulic website: www.victaulic.com/resource-software/
Hi Iván. That is a very common piping setup you will find in fire protection. Sch 40 threaded for branches, and Sch 10 grooved. But it varies from case to case.
Here's a link for the Ready-to-go Pipe Type: www.bimitup.com/product-page/03-bimitup-pipe-types-fire-protection-grooved-and-threaded-steel Here's a link for the fittings if you want to build your own: www.victaulic.com/resource-software/
Alex, I am trying to create gas piping pipe type with 1/2" to 2" screwed fittings and 2 1/2" to 12" welded fittings. I am not able to transition from 2 1/2" to 2" without an error. What fitting does one need to make this transition work.
Hi Mike. That is a good point. I already corrected that, but I had already uploaded the video. The trick is to have some "overlapping". For Example: In the video example, I should have had: - Threaded reducing from 1/2" to 2" and - Grooved reducer from 2" to 12" (not from 2.5" to 12"). That way 1 1/2" to 2" is threaded, and 2" to 2 1/2" is grooved. I hope this clarifies. If not, let me know =)
