achieved with a single complex family, but perhaps it won't provide the
necessary flexibility to accommodate the project specifics.
Fire Riser Assembly
Fire risers for most small projects are assembled from the same basic parts.
The ideal way to handle assemblies like this is to create them as a
mechanical equipment family. This lets you place a single family quickly
during schematic design. The placement of the fire riser is crucial for
understanding where the fire line needs to be routed and for space planning
within the building. This family can be constructed from nested valve and
