Sprinkler Levels & Grids In Revit – Project Base Setup17:16
Learn to create a base Revit file from a template, set up levels and grids, and load carbon steel pipe and welded elbows to build the sprinkler piping system.
Sprinkler System Colors & Parameters In Revit – Settings & Management19:00
Learn how to set up Revit piping systems, color pipes by system type for fire protection, manage units, control pipe sizes, load fittings and valves, and test families before use.
Sprinkler Model Linking In Revit – Architectural & Structural Coordination20:43
Learn how to link architectural and structural models in a Revit template, align axes and levels, manage links, and validate placement before designing sprinklers.

Sprinkler Head & Pipe Placement In Revit – Layout Process14:41
Design and draw sprinkler layouts in Revit MEP for an exposed ceiling office project, applying NFPA 13, upright sprinklers, and pipe positioning rules.
Sprinkler Hazard Groups In Revit – NFPA 13 Classification15:39
Explore NFPA 13 classification and sprinkler hazard groups in Revit MEP, covering light, ordinary and extra hazards, plus coverage, density, and spacing guidelines for accurate design.
Sprinkler Obstruction Rules In Revit – Placement Compliance23:13
Apply NFPA 13 rules in Revit MEP to ensure sprinkler placement, distinguishing blocking and non-blocking structures, and verify A and B distances with view range and plan checks.
Sprinkler Obstruction Rules In Revit – Placement Compliance14:17
Adjust sprinkler placements to meet obstruction rules, calculating distances from beams and ceilings, verify with NFPA guidelines, and align piping paths and risers to avoid interference.
Sprinkler Branching In Exposed Ceilings In Revit – Distribution Method15:58
Learn to design sprinkler branching in exposed ceilings in revit mep by creating horizontal branches, matching elevations, and connecting to sprinklers while sizing pipes per nfpa pipe schedule.
. Sprinkler Suspended Ceiling Layout In Revit – Coverage Setup23:15
Design sprinkler layouts under a false ceiling in Revit MEP by loading concealed or pendant sprinklers, setting view range to hide beams, and positioning and connecting pipes for hallway coverage.
Sprinkler Valve & Final Branching In Revit – Valve Arrangement18:36
Explore sprinkler valve arrangement in Revit MEP, learning how to place upright and concealed sprinklers, manage clashes, and prepare piping calculations with valves like check, butterfly, and flow switches.

Sprinkler NFPA 13 Criteria Setup In Revit – Standards Configuration17:07
Learn NFPA 13 criteria setup in Revit MEP by configuring pipe schedules, calculating pressure limits, and applying design area reductions for light hazard office sprinkler layouts.
Sprinkler Area Analysis & Calculation In Revit – Density Setup19:47
Analyze sprinkler area coverage and density setup in Revit MEP by adjusting spacing, adding rows to meet coverage, and importing flow and area data for fire protection calculations.
Sprinkler Hydraulic Report Review In Revit – Report Output16:03
Review sprinkler hydraulic calculations in Revit MEP, generate an NFPA report output, and adjust pipe sizing to meet speed and pressure targets while presenting results clearly.
Sprinkler Pipe Size Optimization In Revit – Size Adjustment16:12
Tune sprinkler pipe sizing in Revit MEP by adjusting diameters to achieve 90 psi from 70 psi, recalculating hydraulics, and using pipe tables for balanced flow and pressure.

Requirements

Basic familiarity with the Revit interface

Description

Note: This course goes beyond basic Revit commands. You will model and calculate sprinkler systems in Revit using a custom template and families, with full NFPA 13 alignment and no plugins. Based on real MEP projects, you will create print-ready deliverables and ensure smooth BIM coordination.

Key questions this course will answer:

What is the difference between someone who only places sprinkler symbols and a fire protection designer who performs hydraulic calculations, applies NFPA 13 spacing, and manages coordination directly in Revit?
How can hazard groups, obstruction rules, design density, and area of operation in Sprinkler System in Revit reduce redesigns and improve installation accuracy?
What skills are required to produce hydraulic reports, pipe sizing, hanger modeling, and clash detection in Revit (no plugins) at a professional level?

In SPRINKLER, you will work through a real project from template setup to layout, hydraulic calculation, reports and schedules, and BIM coordination. Everything is done in Revit—from pipe routing and slopes to pipe supports and hangers, and clash detection with architectural and structural models. The goal is to give you a project-ready, NFPA 13–aligned workflow that produces deliverables ready for submission, without extra software, and compatible with Revit 2020 and later.
