One item that is useful is a plumbing fixture connector, which acts as a
plumbing fixture and provides a connection point for piping. If there are
valves or other types of components that you use regularly, they should
be loaded into your template. You should also set up the piping system
families you will require.
Figure 2.35
shows some examples of plumbing
components loaded into a template.

Sample plumbing components in a template
The basic idea is to keep it simple. Your template will be a fluid document
that changes as your needs change or as you discover new requirements. If
youfindthatyouhavetoloadaparticular component onmanyprojects, you
should consider adding that component to your project template file.
Other components that you need in your template are all of the duct, pipe,
cable tray, and conduit fittings that will be used by their respective system
families. You also need your company titleblock, company logo, and
company stamps.
