Help plumbing fittings scale in paper space

I am having trouble with the scaling of plumbing fittings when I drag my view file to a sheet.

 

As I am creating a plumbing line with appropriate fittings, the fittings scale correctly, However, when I create a model space view at a particular scale say 1/4"=1'-0" and then drag that view to a sheet everything in the drawing scales as it should except for the plumbing fittings.  They appear to be scaling to 1-1 instead of 1/4"-1'-0" like everything else is. They effectively dissapear since they are so small.

 

 I am just begining with plumbing lines and the plumbing lines and fittings are mostly out of the box. the out of box ones seem to all use annotative scaling which works fine until when it matters and I am ready to plot. Is there a system variable that overides plumbing fittings annotative scale when the are xrefed into a  viewport on a sheet? Any ideas on how to fix this????

Check the scale in model space of the sheet.  Some times the plumbing fitting show up with the scale in model space instead of the scale of the viewport.  That a problem I come across some times but its random.

Thank you so much! I changed the scale in model space and walla it
worked. It's weird cause the annotaition lables on the pipe were scaling
correct, it was just the fittings
