FDI AF Butterfly Balance Valve, Flanged

This Revit family is a technical butterfly balance valve designed for industrial HVAC pipework systems and fluid flow regulation. The FDI AF Butterfly Balance Valve is a standard mechanical component engineered for precise flow control within pressurised piping networks. It features a robust flanged body construction with an integrated lever handle for manual operation. The design includes visible flange connections on either side, facilitating secure integration into standard pipe runs. The valve body is rendered with clear geometric definitions, suitable for both schematic and detailed mechanical layouts. This component is essential for balancing hydronic systems, ensuring consistent pressure distribution across large-scale building services infrastructure while maintaining strict adherence to standard mechanical piping specifications.

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 insert this Revit family directly into mechanical pipe runs using standard Revit MEP connection points. The model is designed to snap to existing piping geometry, allowing for quick integration into complex HVAC systems. Users should manage the valve through the project's mechanical equipment schedule, ensuring all parameters align with system flow requirements. The file is lightweight, facilitating smooth performance even in large, multi-disciplinary models where numerous valve instances are required for comprehensive system balancing.
