Mounted to exterior vertical surfaces, this grey rainwater hopper head and downpipe Revit family provides clean vertical roof drainage detailing. The model depicts a tapered external rainwater hopper coupled directly to a circular vertical downpipe, hosted along a solid vertical surface. Formed with a curved front profile and integrated rectangular overflow opening, the collection basin captures surface runoff before channeling water through the cylindrical discharge conduit below. Its muted grey finish suggests powder-coated aluminium or galvanised steel sheet construction, providing crisp geometry without superfluous ornament. The assembly comprises the upper collection funnel, collar connection, and continuous pipe run, detailing the transition between parapet or gutter discharge outlets and grade-level stormwater infrastructure.
The download is a 225 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.
Designed for seamless integration in Autodesk Revit, this component can be loaded directly into architectural or MEP models. Position the family on exterior structural or curtain wall assemblies at designated drainage locations, adjusting mounting elevations to align neatly beneath roof scuppers or collection chutes. Material parameters can be customized to match facade finishes, metal trims, or specified rainwater systems across elevation drawings and coordination views.
