Turning Vanes for Rectangular Ductwork

Engineered turning vanes for rectangular ductwork provided as a native Revit family to optimise airflow within HVAC systems. These turning vanes are designed for integration into rectangular duct elbows to reduce turbulence and pressure drop in mechanical ventilation systems. The family consists of a series of curved blades, typically manufactured from galvanised steel, arranged to guide airflow smoothly through 90-degree turns. The geometry is clean and functional, intended for use within standard ductwork runs where space constraints prevent the use of long-radius elbows. By managing air velocity and distribution, these vanes ensure consistent performance across the mechanical network, providing a necessary technical solution for complex commercial and industrial HVAC layouts.

The download is a 420 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 project environment to insert into existing ductwork assemblies. The component is designed to snap to standard duct fittings, allowing the mechanical engineer to adjust parameters for duct width and height. It is essential to ensure that the family parameters align with the project's duct sizing schedule. Once placed, the vanes appear in both plan and section views, contributing to accurate documentation and clash detection within the MEP model.
