Hi Rich, been following your videos. And everything are very useful. If I may ask, how about twin copper piping with different sizes for Refrigerant Piping System for Airconditioning. Hangers and Support Detailing, Combination of Transmission Piping and Wiring with the same path of the Copper Piping between Outdoor unit and Indoor unit.
Hi Emillayco, Thank you for following my videos! I'm glad to hear you find them useful. For twin copper piping with different sizes in a refrigerant piping system for air conditioning, here are some tips to consider in Revit: 1. **Create Pipe Types:** - Define different pipe types for each size of copper piping. Go to **Systems** > **Piping** > **Pipe Properties** and create new types as needed. 2. **Routing the Pipes:** - When routing the pipes, ensure that you maintain the correct spacing and alignment for the twin piping. You can use the **Align** tool to help with this. 3. **Hangers and Supports:** - Use the **Piping Hanger** tool to add supports for your pipes. You can set specific spacing for hangers based on the size and weight of the piping. Remember to check the manufacturer’s specifications for hangers that accommodate twin piping setups. 4. **Combination of Piping and Wiring:** - To combine transmission piping and wiring along the same path, you can create a dedicated **Cable Tray** or **Conduit** in Revit. Ensure that the routing does not interfere with the refrigerant piping. - You may also need to use the **Electrical** tools to lay out the wiring alongside the piping, ensuring clear separation and proper clearance as per code. 5. **Detailing:** - For detailed documentation, you can use detail views to show the connection points and hanger details clearly. Annotations can also be added to clarify sizes and installation methods.
