This AFB-H Upblast Ceiling Mount is a Revit family featuring a technical exhaust fan configuration for industrial ventilation design. The AFB-H Upblast Ceiling Mount is a compact, robust mechanical ventilation unit designed for vertical air discharge. Its geometry consists of a cylindrical housing integrated with a rectangular duct connection interface, featuring flanged circular mounting points for secure ceiling attachment. The form is purely functional, prioritising airflow efficiency and structural stability. The model includes necessary reference planes and connection parameters for integration into complex MEP systems. Its grey, neutral aesthetic reflects standard industrial steel construction, making it suitable for exposed ceiling environments or concealed plant room installations where reliable performance is the primary requirement.
The download is a 256 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, utilising the predefined connection points to snap the unit onto ductwork runs. The family is built with standard MEP connectors, allowing for automated system sizing and flow calculations. Designers should ensure the correct host face is selected during placement to maintain proper orientation. Adjusting the radius parameters via the properties palette enables quick scaling to match specific airflow requirements, ensuring seamless coordination within a larger mechanical model and associated schedules.
