About this asset

This Mitered Elbow with Turning Vanes is a Revit family for HVAC distribution, featuring adjustable vane parameters for airflow. This Revit family component represents a standard mitered duct elbow equipped with integrated turning vanes. The geometry is designed for rectangular ductwork systems, incorporating internal blades to reduce turbulence and pressure drop at 90-degree turns. The family includes parametric controls for vane radius and duct dimensions, allowing for precise integration into complex mechanical layouts. Constructed to represent typical galvanised steel ducting, the component maintains accurate port connections for seamless routing within a larger BIM model. It provides the necessary technical detail for coordinated mechanical service plans and section views.

The download is a 205 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.

Users can load this RFA file directly into a Revit mechanical project environment. Once loaded, the elbow can be inserted into existing duct runs or placed as a standalone fitting. The family parameters allow for adjustment of the vane radii and duct cross-section sizes to match project-specific ductwork specifications. It is intended for use in mechanical routing, where it will automatically inherit the system properties and materials assigned to the connected duct segments.

Engineers and BIM coordinators should employ this fitting in commercial, industrial, or healthcare projects where precise duct routing is essential. It is ideal for high-velocity supply air systems where turning vanes are required to maintain aerodynamic efficiency. Professionals searching for HVAC components, duct accessories, or mechanical fittings will find this asset essential for developing comprehensive MEP models. It pairs effectively with standard rectangular ductwork families, ensuring consistent documentation throughout the design development and construction detailing phases of a building project.
