This 45-degree dryer-ell pipe fitting is a native Revit family designed for precise ductwork and mechanical ventilation layouts. The Dryer-Ell 45 Degree LT45 is a standard mechanical pipe fitting engineered for dryer ventilation systems. It features a smooth, circular cross-section with a 45-degree bend, facilitating efficient airflow while minimising lint accumulation. The geometry includes a distinct collar for secure connection to standard rigid ducting. Finished in a utilitarian metallic tone, the component is designed to integrate seamlessly into MEP models. Its proportions are consistent with industry-standard dryer vent ducting, ensuring accurate representation in both 3D views and technical documentation for residential or small-scale commercial laundry installations.
The download is a 348 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
Engineers can load this family directly into a Revit project environment to route ventilation ductwork. It functions as a standard MEP fitting, allowing for automatic snapping and alignment with circular duct segments. Users should verify that the connector settings and pipe diameters match the specific project requirements before placement. Because it is a native family, it maintains consistent graphic representation across plan, section, and 3D views, supporting accurate material take-offs and mechanical scheduling within the building information model.

This component is essential for MEP engineers and residential architects detailing laundry room ventilation paths. It is typically deployed during the design development and construction documentation phases of residential projects, particularly in multi-family housing or single-family home mechanical plans. Professionals would search for this item when coordinating dryer exhaust routes, ensuring code-compliant airflow and proper clearance within wall cavities or ceiling plenums. It pairs effectively with standard rigid metal ducting, wall caps, and secondary ventilation hardware to complete a fully functional exhaust system.
