About this asset

This Revit family provides a technical floor-mounted upblast fan for mechanical HVAC systems, featuring a robust industrial design. The AFB-S Upblast Floor Mount is a functional mechanical component designed for vertical exhaust applications. It features a cylindrical housing for the fan mechanism, integrated with a rectangular motor housing or duct transition. The assembly is supported by a flat base plate with four mounting tabs at the cardinal points, ensuring stable installation on roof curbs or mechanical platforms. Constructed with a utilitarian aesthetic, the geometry is simplified for efficient BIM integration while maintaining the necessary physical dimensions for spatial coordination and clash detection in complex mechanical service layouts.

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 insert this family directly into a Revit project, typically placing it on a flat roof or mechanical equipment pad. Users should leverage the provided reference lines to align the unit with existing ductwork or exhaust stacks. The family is designed to be hosted on a level or work plane, allowing for precise positioning within the mechanical model. Ensure that the duct connectors are correctly mapped to the project's mechanical systems to facilitate proper airflow analysis and documentation.

This fan is intended for industrial, commercial, and institutional projects where mechanical exhaust is required, such as kitchen ventilation systems or general building air extraction. It is suitable for use during the design development and construction documentation stages, where spatial coordination is critical. Professionals searching for this asset will typically look for exhaust fan families, roof-mounted or floor-mounted mechanical equipment, and specific HVAC components for industrial ventilation design, ensuring compatibility with standard ducting and service routing requirements.
