About this asset

This Revit family provides a fire sprinkler Siamese connection, featuring a standard wall-mounted configuration for building service models. The model represents a standard fire department connection (FDC) designed for wall-mounted installation on building exteriors. It features a circular mounting plate and a dual-inlet configuration, typical of Siamese connections used by fire services to boost water pressure in sprinkler systems. The geometry is simplified for efficient BIM integration, focusing on the essential form of the valve inlets and the flange. The component is finished in a metallic, brass-like appearance, consistent with traditional fire protection hardware found on commercial and multi-family residential building facades.

The download is a 573 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.

This Revit family is intended for placement on exterior wall surfaces or within a mechanical model. Users can load this component directly into a project or template, then snap it to the host wall element. The family includes standard connection points for piping, allowing MEP engineers to route fire main lines directly to the inlet. It is optimized for use in LOD 200 or 300 models where clear visual representation of fire suppression hardware is required for coordination.

This asset is essential for fire protection engineering and mechanical coordination in commercial, industrial, and high-density residential projects. It is typically specified at the site plan or exterior facade level to provide fire department access. Architects and engineers search for this component as a fire department connection or FDC to ensure code compliance and accurate site utility coordination. It pairs effectively with fire protection riser diagrams and site-wide mechanical layouts to maintain a comprehensive and accurate building model.
