This CAVP opposed blade damper with mixing box is a Revit family component designed for precise airflow regulation in HVAC systems. The component consists of a rectangular mixing box integrated with an opposed blade damper mechanism and dual circular duct transitions. The geometry is utilitarian, featuring clean, functional lines typical of mechanical equipment. The assembly includes specific connection points for ductwork, clearly marked with standard Revit connectors. Its configuration allows for the blending of air streams while the damper controls the volume of flow. Constructed from standard sheet metal housing, the model maintains a compact footprint suitable for integration into tight ceiling plenums or mechanical plant room layouts where precise air balancing is required.
The download is a 481 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 MEP project to represent air distribution hardware. The component is designed to host onto ductwork, allowing for seamless integration into the mechanical model. Users should map the connection points to existing duct runs and adjust the flow parameters within the family type properties. The model is lightweight, ensuring minimal impact on project file size while providing accurate spatial representation for clash detection and coordination tasks during the design development phase.

This asset is intended for use in commercial and industrial building projects, specifically within mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design packages. It is essential for HVAC engineers and BIM coordinators working on air handling unit (AHU) distribution networks, ventilation systems, and climate control infrastructure. Professionals searching for this component typically look for air balancing hardware, volume control dampers, or VAV box accessories to ensure proper air mixing and flow regulation throughout the building's ducting system during the construction documentation stage.
