Coil Connect Help

Getting Started with Coil Connect

Coil Connect is a powerful tool that automates branch piping connections from coils to nearby mains in Autodesk® Revit®. Watch Demo Videos or read below to understand how to use the tool effectively.

Basic Usage

To create a connection between a coil and a main pipe:

1. Click on the Coil Connect button in the Thermist panel.
2. Select the mechanical equipment family you want to add branch piping to.
3. If this is the first time you are using Coil Connect, you will need to select the main pipes you want to connect to.
4. That's it! Just verify the modeled piping after Coil Connect has finished running.

Adding Valves

Coil Connect can also model in valves with the branch piping. To configure valves:

1. Click on the Settings button in the Thermist panel.
2. Select a coil family and type from the lists.
3. Then for each valve spot - click on the box to select desired valve family and type.
4. After this is complete, Coil Connect will automatically add the valves to the branch piping when it runs.

Settings Window

In addition to customizing valve configurations, you can also clear saved data:

1. Clear saved Thermist valving data one specific family or all families.
2. Clear saved Thermistsystem type for one specific family or all families.
3. Clear all saved Thermist data.
