Configured for vertical transport shafts, this elevator hoistway sump pit and pump Revit family models a rectangular basin with top pipe connection. The asset represents a subterranean drainage collection point designed specifically for lift shafts and elevator pits. Geometrically, it features an orthogonal rectangular prism representing the pit containment volume, capped with an integrated cylindrical top connection point that designates the discharge or drainage outlet. Coordinate axes indicate MEP system connectivity, enabling aligned integration with foul or storm water drainage runs. Clean wireframe outlines establish the essential bounding clearance and structural depth requirements, giving engineers a lightweight yet dimensionally accurate representation of the pit void and pumping equipment without unneeded polygonal complexity.
The download is a 297 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.
Load the RFA component directly into building services or structural project files. Insert the family into foundation slab recesses or the lower base level of elevator shafts. The predefined vertical connector allows users to attach MEP pipework directly for discharge routing. Because the geometry uses concise volumetric forms, the file maintains high model performance during coordination reviews and automated clash detection routines across large multi-storey commercial models.
Elevator Hoistway Sump Pit and Pump
Free
Essential for commercial developments, residential towers, mixed-use complexes, and institutional facilities, this component resolves code requirements for drainage at the base of vertical circulation cores. Mechanical engineers and plumbing coordinators pair this unit with submersible sump pumps, oil-water separators, and basement drainage networks. It serves schematic coordination through detailed design stages, helping teams locate elevator pit drainage equipment, verify clearance around car buffer assemblies, and prevent clashes with structural pile caps and ground beams.
