Ceiling Mounted Smoke Detector

This ceiling-hosted smoke detector is a compact Revit family designed for life safety applications in modern interior spaces. The unit features a standard circular housing constructed from durable, matte-white plastic, typical of modern life-safety hardware. Its low-profile design includes a series of ventilation slots around the perimeter to facilitate air sampling, with a central status indicator light positioned on the underside. The geometry is clean and unobtrusive, suitable for integration into various ceiling types including suspended acoustic tiles or direct-fix plasterboard. The sensor maintains a minimalist aesthetic, ensuring it remains functional without disrupting the visual continuity of the ceiling plane in commercial or residential environments.

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.

As a face-based Revit family, this component allows for simple placement on any horizontal ceiling surface or underside of a slab. Users can load this file into a project and host it directly onto ceilings, where it will remain constrained to the host element. It is recommended to manage visibility through a dedicated fire-protection sub-category to ensure clean documentation in reflected ceiling plans and coordination views, while maintaining consistent scale across project documentation.

This detector is essential for residential, office, and hospitality projects requiring standard life-safety compliance. It integrates seamlessly into fire-protection layouts and ceiling plans, pairing effectively with emergency lighting and other ceiling-mounted MEP services. Professionals searching for this asset typically require reliable, lightweight BIM families for fire safety coordination, building code verification, and electrical schematic documentation. It is suitable for use in both schematic design and construction documentation phases, ensuring accurate placement and scheduling within the building information model.
